COIS13034 Assignment 3: Cloud Based Smart Application Report

This report details the development and deployment of a cloud-based smart application using IBM Bluemix and the Watson IoT platform. The project focuses on creating a smartphone-based sensor and actuator system to detect excessive shock via accelerometer data. The report outlines the architecture, including the use of Node-RED for application logic, Cloudant for data storage, and the Watson IoT Platform for dashboard visualization. It covers the configuration of the smart application, including the setup of Node-RED flows, simulator usage, and the creation of a dashboard to display acceleration data. The report also discusses the difficulties encountered during the process and concludes with a summary of the project's objectives and outcomes, including the successful creation of a cloud-based smart application for AP Pty Ltd, with the ability to send alerts when excessive shock is detected. The project also includes references to relevant literature on cloud computing and IoT.
