Shweta, a young businesswoman, went on a business trip to a new destination. As she stepped off the plane, she was greeted by the bustling energy of the airport. The airport stood before her like a miniature city, its vastness and diversity posing a unique challenge as she navigated her way through the arrival and exit processes. The foreignness of it all felt overwhelming, and she realised that each airport had its own distinct features.
Shweta scanned the terminal for directions to immigration, baggage claim, and eventually the exit. The airport, like a complex puzzle, presented an array of information to absorb. As she attempted to make sense of the signs and symbols guiding her, Shweta couldn’t help but yearn for a more seamless way to connect this influx of information to the real world.
She also faced the issue of identifying restrooms. The signage for restrooms varied across different airports, and the lack of clear and standardised indicators made it difficult for her to locate them.
As Shweta proceeded towards the immigration area, she encountered a significant delay due to the long queues. After clearing immigration, Shweta faced difficulties in finding her baggage carousel, which had been reallocated for the next landed flight. She wandered between the carousels and, finally, found her baggage in a corner.
As Shweta finally made her way out of the airport, she almost felt a sense of accomplishment at having overcome all the frustrations.
The above is one air passenger’s exit experience. Even though a few hi-profile passengers use airport navigation apps, they still face difficulties such as loading different apps for each airport. So, what is the solution?

Helgrind: Detecting Synchronisation Issues in Multithreaded Programs
Let's explore how Helgrind can be used to detect and debug multithreading issues with the help of a multithreaded C program.
The Perfect Process of Booting a PC
Booting a PC seems as simple as eating a cake. But are you aware of all that goes on behind-the-scenes to bake a delicious cake or seamlessly boot a PC?
Exploring eBPF and its Integration with Kubernetes
eBPF, a game-changing technology that extends the capabilities of the Linux kernel, offers significant advantages for Kubernetes networking. It also greatly improves Kubernetes observability by capturing detailed telemetry data directly from the kernel. Read on to find out how its integration with Kubernetes has immense benefits.
Deploying Generative AI LLMs on Docker
Built on massive datasets, large language models or LLMS are closely associated with generative Al. Integrating these models with Docker has quite a few advantages.
Containerisation: The Cornerstone of Multi-Cloud and Hybrid Cloud Success
Open source containerisation software provides the flexibility, cost-effectiveness, and community support needed to build and manage complex multi-cloud and hybrid cloud environments. By leveraging this software, businesses can unlock the full potential of multicloud and hybrid cloud architectures while minimising vendor lock-in risks.
From Virtual Machines to Docker Containers: The Evolution of Software Development
Containerisation and Kubernetes have eased software development, making it faster and better. Let's see where these are headed, looking at trends that are making life easier for developers.
India's Leap in Supercomputing: Innovating for Tomorrow
As India strides towards self-sufficiency in supercomputing, embracing this evolution isn't just an option-it is pivotal for global competitiveness and technological leadership.
SageMath: A Quick Introduction to Cybersecurity
In the previous articles in this SageMath series, we delved into graph theory and explored its applications using SageMath. In this seventh article in the series, it is time to shift our focus to another crucial subfield of computer science: cybersecurity and cryptography.
Efficient Prompt Engineering: Getting the Right Answers
OpenAl's GPT-3 and GPT-4 are powerful tools that can generate human-like text, answer questions, and provide insights. However, the quality of these outputs depends heavily on how you frame the input, or prompt. Efficient prompt engineering ensures you get the right answers by designing inputs that guide the AI towards relevant, clear, and useful responses. Let's find out how to craft effective prompts with examples.
Analysing Linus Torvald's Critique of Docker
This article looks at Docker's security flaws, particularly its shared-kernel model, and contrasts it with traditional VMs for better isolation. It discusses Linus Torvalds' concerns, explores mitigation techniques, and proposes a roadmap for building a more secure containerisation platform using hardware-assisted virtualisation, true isolation, and a robust orchestration layer.
