QAC020X355H Designing and Developing Products for the Internet of Everything

On successful completion of the module students will be able to:

1.Critically appraise knowledge base relating to the use of Internet of Everything, including (passive and active) sensors, actuators, the physical communications layer, communications protocols, programming frameworks, and an understanding of energy and bandwidth constraints.

2.Evaluate design approaches used to design Internet of Everything applications.

3.Design and build a sensor network based on Internet of Everything technology.

4.Develop application software of moderate complexity for a well-used mobile platform.

5.Critically discuss current research issues and application areas of the Internet of Everything and mobile devices, including an understanding of the commercial context and privacy/security issues, and make well-informed speculations on the future of the area.

Option 1:

Choose any sensor of your choice and publish the sensor data to any cloud of your choice with the help of any MQTT broker. You can use MQTTlens or any other relevant apps to see if the broker receives the data.

Note: You can also simulate this on TinkerCad Simulation software.

Option 2:

Use two ESP32/ Raspberry pi/ Arduino Uno to communicate with each other. One ESP32/ Raspberry pi should be acquiring a data from any sensor of your choice (from the list given below) and passing the data to another ESP32/ Raspberry pi/ Arduino Uno and displaying the communicated data onto LCD (Using SPI or I2C protocol) or on Serial monitor of Arduino IDE. (You could use any communication protocols for this setup)

Note: You can also simulate this on TinkerCad Simulation software.

Deliverables: The lab report should include the following:

·For option 1, you need to cover on how MQTT works and then provide your MQTT broker information, i.e. hostname, username, password, and port number (note that this is not the username/password you used to sign up for service with CloudMQTT, but the username/password for the actual broker).

oEntire publisher code.

oEntire subscriber code (if any).

·For option 2, you need to cover some explanations on which protocols used for communication between 2 ESP32/ Raspberry Pi and reasons for selecting them. You should also provide some concepts on how your selected protocols works. Lastly you should the details of the whole setup.

·For both options, you need to provide a description of your solution (what IoT system did you implement?  What does it do?  What sensors and output devices did you use?)

·For both options, end the report with a section containing discussion on the issues and application areas of your system, including an understanding of the commercial context and privacy/security issues.

Important: In addition, provide snapshots that shows all the configurations and program code in line with the task selected.

Marking Criteria – Coursework 1

This Coursework is an Individual report and should be submitted as a word document (1000 words in total including all diagrams, documentation and description) via Turnitin on Moodle and must include all the required components related to the proposed design.

·You should provide basic explanation on the uses of Internet of Everything, including (passive and active) sensors, physical communications layer, communications protocols, programming frameworks, and an understanding of energy and bandwidth constraints

·You should provide the functional requirements of the system

·You should include all the components/ resources needed.

·You should include overall/ Initial diagram of the system.

·You should also describe the components used and their functions

·You should provide the codes for both the client and server side (whichever applicable to your project).

·You should add appropriate comments throughout the codes

·You should demonstrate the working of your system by providing all snapshots.

·You should provide a description of how the system works.

·Critically discuss issues and application areas of your system including an understanding of the commercial context and privacy/security issues and make well-informed speculations on the future of the area.  

·Academic Integrity is a matter that is taken very seriously at the university and student should endeavour to enforce it to all their assignments. In other words, plagiarism, collusion (working and copying from another student) and ghost writing will not be tolerated and will result in sanctions eg: capped resit, suspension and/or withdrawal. Correct referencing demonstrates your academic and professional skill. It also reflects your academic honesty and thus to some degree protects you from cases of plagiarism. 

·Plagiarism: occurs when you present somebody else’s work as your own, whether that work is an idea, graphs, figure, illustration or a pure text. Be it available in web, textbooks, reports or otherwise. 

·Plagiarism will be dealt with firmly and can lead to serious consequences and disciplinary procedures.  

·You must write your assignment in your own words to demonstrate your understanding of the subject.  

·Collusion: occurs when copying another student’s report (Text, Figures, Illustration etc..) and submitting it as your own. 

·Wholesale use of text and diagrams from websites is considered as plagiarism when not acknowledged. 

·You are required to follow the Roehampton Harvard referencing System. Please refer to Moodle for the latest version of the Roehampton Harvard referencing System or ask the library.

·An accompanying list of references (on a separate page and in alphabetical order) must also be provided as part of your work.
