COSC1301 Module 3 Project: IoT Interoperability and Smartphones

This project focuses on enabling IoT interoperability through the development of an opportunistic smartphone-based mobile gateway. The research aims to address the challenges of interoperability among various standards and communication technologies in the IoT landscape. The project proposes a smartphone-based mobile gateway acting as a flexible and transparent interface between IoT devices and the Internet. The research objectives include designing a unified and extensible software architecture to support IoT discovery, control, management, and data processing. The methodology involves using positivism as a research philosophy and a deductive approach to analyze information. The project includes a literature review highlighting the importance of interoperability and the development of software architectures for smartphone-based gateway applications. The project utilizes Microsoft Word for creating a professional proposal document and Microsoft Excel for enhancing the proposal with spreadsheets, formulas, and formatting. The project demonstrates the student's ability to use common applications to communicate and store information, applying learned skills from tutorials.

PROBLEM STATEMENT:
• In the near future, all of the things and object that are used
everyday will be connected with the Internet as well as they will
get further equipped with proper capabilities for sensing, action
and processing to explore the potential advantages of IoT.
• In this context, this is found that the interoperability that is
among several standards as well as the communication
technologies is considered as one of the important most
challenges..
• For solving the challenge, a smart phones based mobile
gateway that generally act as a flexible as well as interface that
is transparent between various IoT devices and the Internet is
needed to be proposed.

RESEARCH AIM:
Research aim:
The primary purpose of the project is to enable the IoT
interoperability with the help of opportunistic smartphone
based mobile gateway.
Research objective:
• To propose a smartphone based mobile gateway which act
like one of the transparent and flexible interfaces among the
Internet and IoT related devices.
• To present a unified as well as the software architecture
which is extendible that helps in supporting IoT discovery,
control as well as management that is coupled with proper
processing of data as well as collection functionalities.

RESEARCH QUESTIONS:
1. How a smartphone based mobile gateway will
act as one of the transparent and flexible
interfaces between the Internet and IoT
devices?
2. How an extendible and unified software
architecture can help in supporting IoT discovery?

LITERATURE REVIEW:
• According to Aloi et al. (2017), the lack of
interoperability is the cause of various types of issues
that are related to technological business, including the
impossibility of plugging non interoperability IoT
devices into proper heterogeneous platforms that are
IoT based.
• According to Koilas et al., (2017), the development of a
proper software architecture is done for supporting the
smartphone based gateway application successfully.
This is found that a real test bed is implemented
generally for measuring the performances of various
solution that is proposed in the context of consumption

METHODOLOGY:
• For the research, positivism will be used as the
research philosophy. With the help of
positivism, the information and data that are
associated with the research can be securely
collected.
• On the other side, the deductive approach is
utilized which will help the researchers in
gaining the capability to analyze information
that will help in enabling IoT interoperability
with the help of opportunistic smartphone
