Cloud Computing Environment
The cloud computing is considered as a general term for delivering the hosted service via
internet. Cloud companies can help the companies in consuming a computing resource like a
virtual machine, application or a storage for using as a utility [9]. Cloud computing helps the
companies not to build cloud computing infrastructures in house.
Cloud computing means using different services including the platforms of software
development, storage, software, servers and many more over Internet [1]. A cloud basically
provides application for back end, the user only pays for the service that are using, and the
services that are provided are scalable.
A Cloud Based Smart Application: Cloud-Based Smart Home Management
System
The application that is considered for this assignment is a smart home management
system that is cloud based. The smart home service that is considered is applied on single home
and there are various servers as well as actuators in the smart home system. The smart home
system collects the information and present those in wired and wireless connections in between
the systems and the system for home controller [2]. The smart home based system connects
homes via community networking as well as integrates all the system in a hierarchical category.
The community management system, also known as community broker ecosystem also supports
all the function of surrounding facilities with community as well as home management. The
cloud service also provides core management that helps the smart home system to integrate all

the systems in every community as well as in every homes. The platform of smart home system
adds more value as well as extended service by integrating global service in it.
 Functional and Non-Functional Requirements
The functional requirements of the smart home system includes are adding a new system
in the home based cloud system, removing a system from there, displaying the status of all the
systems, changing the status of the device, creating a rule, changing a rule, and last but not the
least removing the rule.
The non-functional requirement of the smart home system includes that all the
applications should work well [8]. There should be enough storage system in the cloud to store
the data on the IoT devices that are needed to make a smart home system.
Cloud Service Providers to Build the Cloud-Based Smart Home Management
System
There are many providers of cloud service that provides cloud for smart home
management [10]. The providers include Cosesy Cloud, IntelliVision Cloud Video Analytics,
Ayla Cloud Platform, TriClouds Solution, Kalay Platform, GoToMyThings (GTMT). These
companies provide cloud solutions to all the home based smart devices that that helps to
communicate in between the devices of the smart home service.
PaaS, SaaS or IaaS System
Platform as a Service is a platform that provides software development and software
deployment [3]. The providers of PaaS works with dealing of servers and the clients of that
environment.
