Abstract: The ipm - Integrated Package Manager is a cross-platform tool
designed to standardize and simplify the management of software packages
across diverse operating systems and ecosystems. Modern development
environments frequently demand the use of multiple package managers, such as
apt, brew, dnf, and winget, etc., each with distinct commands and
workflows. This fragmentation poses significant challenges for developers and
system administrators, leading to inefficiencies, errors, and steep learning
curves, particularly in cross-platform scenarios. This research project aims
to address these challenges by designing and implementing a unified
command-line interface (CLI) that abstracts the complexities of individual
package managers. The ipm provides a consistent, extensible, and
user-friendly interface for installing, updating, and removing software
packages, regardless of the underlying system. Leveraging automation,
configurability, and cross-platform compatibility, ipm seeks to enhance
developer productivity, reduce operational overhead, and foster seamless
integration in heterogeneous environments. The research methodology involves
analyzing existing package management tools, identifying their commonalities
and differences, and developing a framework that bridges these gaps. The
project also explores the extensibility of ipm, enabling support for custom
configurations and additional package managers as needed. The tool's design
prioritizes ease of use, reliability, and scalability to cater to both novice
users and seasoned professionals. By unifying package management processes,
ipm offers a transformative solution to a long-standing problem, equipping
the software engineering community with a robust tool to streamline workflows
and improve operational efficiency. This research contributes to the broader
discourse on tool standardization and underscores the importance of
simplifying software lifecycle management in increasingly complex technical
landscapes.
Abstract: Smart Greenhouse is a complete system for the monitoring and
controlling of a greenhouse. The whole system is based on Sensor Network (SN)
which collects data (temperature, humidity, soil moisture, light, number of
raindrops, etc.) from the greenhouse and sends it to controller (Arduino Mega
2560 R3). Based on the collected data, the controller controls artificial
light, water sprayer, exhaust fans, etc. to maintain the desirable environment
for the plants. Chrome app and Android app are used to monitor the parameter
of the system using Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) but it can also be
viewed by using any internet browser.
