Learning outcome 5: Critically review recent and predicted future trends in developments, technologies and protocols of the Internet of Things

Task:

Report

Prepare a report for the proposal and development of a prototype for businesses, society or industry (non-home based) using IoT technology and reflective report (2000 words) on its application, operation and security issues with potential for mitigation.

You may follow the following guides in preparing your report:
Introduction (200-500 words)
Describe what this report is all about, overview of the project and briefly elaborate the intends of subsequent sections within the report.
Background Study / Literature Review
Select a society / industry domain of interest i.e. healthcare, manufacturing, transportation, finance, agriculture and etc...
Review, analyse and discuss at least 5 real-world case studies for the selected domain of interest from news portals or reliable publisher, or company report or scientific research paper and identify its current business or society challenges.
Define, emphasis and describe of the key problem(s) based on case studies reviewed which can be resolved with IoT solution.
Propose a potential solution to address the key problem(s) above and its rationale.
Review, identify and compare list of IoT components, software's, hardware's and its enabling technologies to materialize the suggested solution.
Prototype Design & Architecture
Develop a conceptual model and describe how the proposed solution works.
Select and describe the enabling technologies adopted for the proposed solution with an architecture (or layered) diagram.
Develop wireframe or UI Design (if applicable)
Prototype Implementation
Explain and illustrate the process of prototype development with screenshots throughout the development stage.
Emphasis on the key creation and development you have contributed for this prototype development. i.e. development of new codes, program, etc rather than just configurations.

Prototype Evaluation
Define and describe the simulation and evaluation setup. i.e. scenarios or use cases
Define and describe key measurement matrix for the prototype evaluation.
Discuss the finding and outcome (expected/unexpected) of prototype evaluation and elaborate if the developed prototype has overcome the key problem defined above with evidence.
Conclusion
Summarize the project by re-emphasizing the key problem(s) identified on the selected domain or industry and how the problem(s) has been overcome with the proposed solution.
Describe and elaborate the challenges and constraints which limit certain aspect of the prototype development
Suggest future works, potential security or privacy consideration, and recommendation on top of the prototype you have developed.
