Abstract

In our experience of having worked with financial institutions for over 19 calendar years, we have seen that application development, maintenance and operations teams have a very silo-ed existence. In today's ever more fluid market, it is imperative for these teams to be very agile in their response to business needs. While development teams are trying to adopt agile and devops practices, operations and maintenance teams are sometimes forgotten in this transformation journey even though they play a very crucial role in managing customer facing systems. In this paper, we focus on application operations for their simplification, outline the post production challenges faced by the operations teams, assistance required from the development teams and need for coordination & harmony between application development and operations teams. We use the example of a financial organization where we are currently helping in simplification of application support processes using two key levers of cloud and devops adoption to highlight the path to simplification. We outline the solution levers we used, solution tenets, solution approach and considerations. We also share a target state model and regulated key functions & activities within the model as well as an interim operating model and a target operating model.

Abstract

RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification) is a developing technology that employs electromagnetic signals to send the data among reader and tags to identify categorize and track the moveable items. The objective of this paper is to mitigate the reader collision problem by scheduling the readers in RFID system.  Mobile readers in the RFID network send the same frequency signal to the air to read the data from the tags. While these two signals interfere each other and Tags are unable to backscatter signal to the reader. This causes a reader collision problem. The Reader collision problem reduces the lifetime of the RFID network and generates redundant data in the RFID Network. Tag Count based Priority Scheduling algorithm is proposed, that enhances the throughput of the readers and mitigates the reader collision problem. In the cluster based RFID network, The Dragonfly algorithm performed the Cluster Head reader election and cluster construction process and then allotting the mobile readers in the cluster. This algorithm improves the energy efficiency and diminishes the reader collision problem, thereby alleviating the tag information loss and expanding the mobile RFID network life time, while compared with Priority Clustering Protocol and the Graph Coloring based TDMA algorithm.
