COIT20260 - Cloud Computing for Smart Applications: Report Analysis

This report details the development and implementation of a cloud-based smart application for AB pty Ltd, focusing on resolving product delivery issues using accelerometer and orientation data from smartphones. The project utilizes IBM Bluemix to create and deploy the application, including database setup with DB MYSQL, code editing, and deployment. The report analyzes a case study, identifying business problems and proposing solutions such as email alerts and data visualization. It covers the deployment and configuration of the smart application, integrating IoT starter mobile apps and geospatial analytics for vehicle location tracking. Difficulties encountered during the process, such as code editing and application configuration, are also discussed. The report concludes with a successful implementation of the smart application using IBM Bluemix, aiming to improve the delivery system for AB pty Ltd.

Introduction
The main aim of this project to be implementing the cloud based smart phone application
for AB pty Ltd Company. This project is to create the cloud based smart applications for AB pty
Ltd Company. The AB pty Ltd Company is a product delivers company by using shock based on
accelerometer and orientation data of the phone’s sensor. This company has potential issues on
deliver the products. So, it needs to resolved by create the smart applications. This application
will be used to provide the effective delivery system for a company. These are will be analyzed
and discussed in detail.
IBM Blue mix
Here, we will use IBM blue mix to create the smart application for a company and this
process is discussed in below (Antonopoulos and Gillam, 2017).
To access the IBM blue mix by create the IBM account and login the account by using the
below link.
Links are: http://127.0.0.1:1880/#flow/77ab59d3.e1ad48
http://127.0.0.1:1880/#flow/9ac6d273.0552a
After, launch the IBM cloud to open the IBM dashboard because this dashboard is used
to have the application information from service list. Then, user needs to click the cloud foundry
application to create the cloud foundry application.

After, select the SDK for a node and it is used to produce the application and host name.
4

Here, user must be creating the database for smart application by choose the data
analytics services. It is shown below (Meinhardt and Reinheimer, 2016).
Here, user needs to choose the DB MYSQL to create the data base and then, deploy and establish
the data base.
5

Here, users want to edit the configuration file for smart application. It is shown below.
Click the IBM blue mix DevOps service to edit the code. It is shown below (Molen, 2010).
6

Here, user’s wants to edit again the deployment code by select the red button on the
centre of the screen. Then, it shows the pop up window to re - deploy code or not.
The code deployment is completed, and then needs to click the OK button to open the
GIT repository window. After, click the commit button to commit the process.
7

Then, IBM blue mix shows the all changed file information (Breeding, 2012).
Then, successfully IBM created the smart applications.

Case Study Analysis
Business Problems
This company is used It has the set of smart application to detect excessive shock based on
accelerometer and orientation data of the phone’s sensor The Internet of Things, or IoT, refers to
the growing range of Internet-connected devices that capture or generate an enormous amount of
information every day. For consumers, these devices include mobile phones, sports wearables,
9

home heating and air conditioning systems, and more. In an industrial setting, these devices and
sensors can be found in manufacturing equipment, the supply chain, and in-vehicle components.
IoT can make life easier for all of us. To easily develop and deploy IoT solutions of all sizes,
IBM created the IBM Watson IoT Platform.
Possible Solutions
 Send an email alert to you when the shock is detected,
 Display shocks over time using a line graph/chart
 Store excessive shock events in IBM Cloudant database using NODERED flow.
Deployment and configuration of Smart Applications
Here, we will deploy and configure smart application by using the IBM blue mix service. It
is shown below. IoT Starter Mobile app on your smartphone. To transform your smartphone into
a sensor, we will build an IoT app that reads the accelerometer the accelerometer is a built-in
electronic component that measures tilt and motion. It can also detect rotation and motion
gestures, such as swinging or shaking. Values that are sent from your smartphone and reacts with
a specific action whether the values reach a certain threshold. To transform your smartphone into
an actuator, we will build an IoT app that sends specific commands to your smartphone that can
then react to the commands it receives.
