COIT20260 - Cloud Computing for Smart Applications

Enabling objectives

1. Analyse a case study and identify issues associated with the business;
2. Develop and deploy the application in IBM Cloud;
3. Evaluate existing and new functionalities to address business problems;
4. Prepare a document to report your activities using text and multimedia (for example screenshots, videos).

What do you need to do?

The assignment requires you to do the following -

• Choose a case study out of given three below and analyse the case study to understand the business problem and required tasks assigned to you to address the problem.
• Design and develop smart application to execute all required tasks given in your chosen case study.
• Finally prepare a report according to given format and specifications below and submit it in Moodle.

Report format and specifications

You are required to submit a written report in a single Microsoft Word (.doc or .docx) document. There is no word limit, but any unnecessary information included in the report may result in reduced marks.

The report must contain the following content (feel free to define your own sections, as long as you include all the required content):
o Cover page/title page and Table of contents
o URL of the IBM Watson IoT Platform and NODERED applications
o Login details of the IBM Cloud account and authentication token detail of your IoT device/objects
o Introduction
o Case study analysis which will report –
o Identify four business improvements that can be addressed by your extended modules.
o Were the collected sensor’s data effective to develop required tasks in the extended modules? Why or why not?
o Suggest collection of five new sensor data elements (other than data already collected) which could be helpful to develop extended modules better.
o The step by step process you have followed to configure and deploy the application. You may choose to use screenshots and notes to enrich your report but you must have a video of the process.
o Video link of you working while deploying and configuring
o Difficulties you faced –
o What are the difficulties you have faced during the process of app deployment and data collection?
o How did you address those difficulties?
o How is the application development and management in cloud different than traditional application management
