Length:
60% (or 60 marks)
There is no words limit for this report
Objectives
This assessment item relates to the course learning outcomes 2 to 4 of the course profile.
Enabling objectives
1. You will acquire skills and knowledge to develop and deploy a smart application
2. Learn to justify the appropriateness of the solution after deployment based on design
and deployment plan
3. Learn to evaluate appropriate cloud services for a specific deployment need
General Information
The purpose of this assignment is to store, analyse and visualize telemetry information
collected from the simulation application you developed in your assignment two. This is to
identify appropriate solution for the business problem. Please note, you are working with
the same case you have selected in your assignment two. In assignment three, you
are working individually NOT in a group. By doing this assignment, you will learn to use
skills and knowledge of emerging technologies like cloud computing, IoT, to store, analyse
and visualize collected information from smart IoT system for addressing business need.
What do you need to do?
The assignment require you to do the following -
• Remember your assignment two is the base for your assignment three,
and assignment three is individual work.
• You need to carry on the development of the simulation application you
developed in assignment two according to stage two milestones set in
the case study in page 3 and 4 of this document. The app need to
address all required milestones mentioned 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 cause negative marking.2
The report must contain the following sections (feel free to add one or more
sections if necessary):
• Cover page/title page and Table of contents
• URL (of the app) and login details of the app and dashboards
• Introduction
• The step by step process you have followed to store the telemetry and
prepare the dashboard. You may choose to include one or both sub-points
below to enrich your report
o Screenshot/s of each steps
o A video link of you configuring the app for data storing and/or
visualizing
• Effective analysis –
o Self-reflect, was the telemetry data effective to visualize required
information?
o Suggest collection of five new data elements (other than data already
collected by the telemetry) which could be helpful to analyse the case
further/better.
• Justification
o How do your improvements address all required milestones
mentioned in the case study?
o How does stage two helps to analyse and identify probable solution
of the business problem?
• Difficulties you faced –
o What are the difficulties you faced during the process of app
deployment and data collection using debug?
o How did you address those difficulties?
• Conclusion
• References
Plagiarism Checking Information
It is VERY important that you do not copy content directly from either the text or
Internet resources: this assignment is to be in your own words. You will lose
marks if you do not use your own words! Actual plagiarism will result in the
instigation of the student misconduct process.
On uploading your assignment for the first time you will be able to immediately see
your similarity score. However, a 24 hour delay exists for the release of similarity
scores for the submission of successive items (drafts).
To be clear, the delay will not apply to your first draft which will receive a Turnitin
similarity score as soon as possible.This mandatory delay was implemented by
Turnitin to minimise misuse of the similarity-checking service by students who were
simply modifying their submissions to avoid match detection and without citing
sources appropriately.3
Choose a Business Case only for your assignment two and three
Business Case one:
Smart application to monitor trucks movement and telemetry
AB Pty. Ltd is a delivery company who has 6 trucks to deliver different products for third parties.
They have their set delivery zone which covers the entire Cairns CBD, Qld, Australia or Austin
downtown, Texas, USA. Due to the expanding demand their trucks are always busy. Most
recently, they are receiving complaints about delayed delivery and long queue of pending
delivery. In the initial stage of their business a truck on average can deliver 5 times a day.
However, current average for their trucks is only 3 times per day. The general manager of AB
Pty. Ltd appointed a business analyst to identify potential causes of the delay. The business
analyst make a number of stage two recommendations below -
• Store the telemetry of the trucks in database (structural and/or non-structural)
• Analyse stored data using IBM Watson IoT Platform (or NODE-RED) and
prepare following Dashboards.
o Upon request, system should identify current location and the direction it
is heading to. [NB: this can be done by logging telemetry values like
longitude, latitude and heading values.]
o Upon request, the system should display state (like delivery state, ideal
state, and loading state) of a trucks.
o System should alert the management via email/Twitter, if a car violated
the speed limit of the zone. [ NB: feel free to set your own speed limit for a
Zone]
The AB Pty. Ltd appointed you as an ICT professional to action data storing and
visualization of data for analysis to address the current and upcoming operation issues.
Case study Two:
Smart application to remotely monitor a patient’s movement details
AB hospital has a physiotherapy department with 6 patients. The hospital is very renowned
for their services. It is receiving increasing pressure to increase their capacity to serve more
physiotherapy patients. However, their current capacity is limited to 20 patients only.
Furthermore, as part of their service, they also want to collect information about their
patients walking habits within the walking zone of the hospital to serve them better. They
have appointed a business analyst to identify actions to address the issues. The business
analyst make a number of stage two recommendations below -
• Store the telemetry of the Patients in database (structural and/or non-structural)
• Analyse stored data using IBM Watson IoT Platform (or NODE-RED) to prepare
a number of dashboards to achieve followings
o Upon request, system should identify current location of the patient. [NB:
this can be done by logging telemetry values like longitude, latitude and
heading values.]
o Upon request, the system should display state (like walking state, ideal
state, and sleeping state) and speed of a patient.4
o System should alert the management via email/Twitter, if a patient
violated the walking speed limit. [ NB: feel free to set your own speed
limit]
The AB hospital appointed you as an ICT professional to action data storing and
visualization of data for analysis to address the current and upcoming operation issues.5
