Mobibush : A Cloud Enabled Mobile app for Farmers

Abstract

Mobile technology is increasingly being adopted in the agricultural space as a measure to assist farmers in decision. The aim of the project is to enable farmers to have mobile access to up to date information on pesticides and further make decisions on which pesticides to refer, how to appertain them, when to use them, and so on. Due to its complexity, Mobibush is designed as a mobile distributed system that follows a three-layered deployment; mobile clients(users or farmers), middleware(proxy layer), and a database server. Since the data that is being drive to the mobile is resident on the database server, caching policy on the mobile has been proposed to support offline affordability of pesticide information. However, there are oppugn that arise due to the intermittent loss of connectivity which leads to stale data on the mobile. In this project, we have accomodate the dual caching technique where we reserve data on the mobile and on the middleware. The approach makes the Mobibush architecture now robust and reliable for offline data accessibility.
