Author(s): MARTIN RUSKOWSKI , VOLKAN GEZER

Abstract: Internet changed how the people live and access the information that they need. Thanks to the accessibility and the benefits that it brings into the lives, new research areas are emerging. One of the areas is Internet of Things (IoT) which connects countless of devices to the Internet. Increasing usage in IoT tremendously increases the count of connected devices to the Internet as well as the data generated and transferred through the Internet. However, this increase brings several issues which could degrade the Quality of Service (QoS) with such as delays or even failed requests. Edge Computing is a new paradigm which is believed to solve the problems that the current IoT and Cloud solutions have. This paper introduces a new architecture for Edge Servers which is expected to reduce the latency and solve the resource problems of the end-devices. The proposed Edge Server architecture has an ability to decide whether the task should be offloaded to the Cloud or another Edge Server by con

Abstract: The role of social relationships in development has important implications for contemporary development research and policy. Projects in Bangladesh fail more frequently that they should and one reason may be due to a lack of social capital among locals. The SAR (Sub-surface Arsenic Removal) system is a very viable and sustainable way to produce arsenic-free fresh water in areas like rural Bangladesh. One such SAR system is being developed in Barnal-Eliasabad in Kalia upazila of Narail district, Khulna. The aim of this study is to show that the SAR water supply system is likely going to be unsuccessful due to a lack of social capital among the villagers of Barnal-Eliasabad, Kalia upazila. The study investigated respondents’ insights on the causes of failure of the community based SAR project. Qualitative research method was used to understand the research problem better. The questionnaires and interviews revealed that the locals are very dissatisfied with the SAR system, and cited some
