Dictionaries are becoming popular as a means for interactive communication between languages. Dictionaries, and language professionals, in general, have long claimed that dictionaries are deficient, especially regarding accessing and updating content. Some authors have also noted that these deficiencies are compounded by the fact that language professionals do not receive proper training in dictionary use, and due to those deficiencies, they do not fully benefit from them. Electronic dictionaries include new search capabilities, not found in traditional dictionaries, that could meet users’ needs efficiently. So, this review, it’s discusses the features of the dictionaries with a comparison to existing dictionaries. Finally, its state the features that should be added to those existing ones to become a smart bilingual dictionary.

When we talk about the importance of water, it is an essential element of life. Automating the fluid intake monitoring can help to avoid the risk of losing the recommended daily fluid intake. An automated system can monitor and keep tracking the daily fluid intake and send reminders to the users and guide them towards wellbeing. In this research, a system is developed to help elderly people as well as patients to monitor their fluid intake. The system is developed with a special stand using pressure sensor and Bluetooth and an android application which provides records and reminders. It was observed that the system provides accurate results and it is a low cost solution.

A personalized recommendation system for leisure activities is vital in our social life due to its strength in providing enhanced entertainment. Our system has the ability to recommend leisure time activities, to a new user and others by using their social media data. It gathers all the important information, such as popularity, liking and disliking, required for recommendation. It also takes a minimum of new user information without connecting to social networks. It generates recommendations for the user based on his/her behaviour on social media. Such a system will counsel a group of films, books, music, TV shows, games and places to users supported their interest and private data using Collaborative filtering and Content based filtering. Similarity, index is measured by using Pearson correlation and Cosine based similarity and Tanimoto Coefficient based Similarity. The planned system has the flexibility to advocate leisure activity to a brand new user furthermore because the others by mistreatment social media knowledge. It effectively reduces the complexity of the search space for users and attracts more and more users to the Internet, which increases the profits of site owners.

But, it views as a “big ball of mud”. That indicates monolithic architecture has many drawbacks. Introduction of cloud based microservice architecture can solve these kind of drawbacks. Microservice architecture helps to scale an application. Most of the applications write less data than reading of that data. Scaling of read model and write model separately is very important. But, scaling applications using microservice architecture is very hard. Further, applications cannot simply use a local ACID (Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, Durability) transaction. Read part is scaling to more replicas. Thus, maintenance of the data of all replicas in same level is important. Replication of read model and maintenance of data consistency which would provide experimental insight still needs to be developed. To bridge this gap, development of an architecture based on messaging with RabbitMq publish/ subscribe method, event sourcing and Command Query Responsibility Segregation (CQRS) with axon framework is used in this study. Evaluation of this architecture was done by replication of the read model using Docker and Docker-compose. Further, we have analysed data consistency in our experiments.
