You can use distributed system concept for your application as discussed in Lecture 2. (e.g. separate component for processing and storage/ Multinode cluster/ multiple processing servers/ multiple cloud features / Integration of multiple REST APIs/ IoT/ Edge computing/ Fog Computing/Publish subscriber model/ Peer to Peer system/ Push notifications). 2. The use of Google/AWS cloud services such as Hadoop MapReduce, BigQuery, SQS, Microservices, Endpoints, API Gateway, CloudWatch, Lambda, Machine Learning, real-time data analysis, etc. will make your project interesting. You may not learn all of the services but if you learn them by yourself, it will be highly appreciated as well as helpful for your projects. 3. You should take advantage of Google/AWS Cloud storage (e.g. S3, Google Cloud Storage) and Google/AWS Cloud Datastore (e.g. Google datastore, Amazon DynamoDB, MongoDB or Relational Database Services) in your project. 4. You should have a nice client side visualization (e.g. a webpage/website or a mobile app). If you have any kind of data analysis you should interpret your result nicely using tabular and/or graphical format. For web application you should to deploy your application either in Google cloud or AWS cloud. 5. Your application must have at least 5 high-level user stories that you will complete for the assignment. Note an admin user will not be considered a valid user for a user story. Though you may still need to build supporting tools to administer your solution. 6. Students in a group should sign a contribution agreement form to acknowledge each member’s contribution portion in the project. The contribution agreement form must be signed by all group members, scanned, and attached with the report otherwise your assignment cannot be marked. If fewer contributions are identified by one student then he/she will receive less mark than his/her group-mate. Project Options Option 1 Development of a cloud application using your own idea and strength. Option 2 Development of a cloud application using idea suggested by your tutor based on your interest and strength. Option 3 You may refer to Assignment 2 Supporting Information.pdf, where several applications were discussed (the projects are from previous years). You may choose one of them as your project or somewhat similar. 5. Referencing guidelines What: All submitted contents must be your own. If you have used sources of information other than the contents directly under Canvas→Modules, you must give acknowledge the sources and give references using IEEE referencing style. Where: Add a code comment near the work to be referenced and include the reference in the IEEE style. How: To generate a valid IEEE style reference, please use the citethisforme tool if unfamiliar with this style. Add the detailed reference before any relevant code (within code comments).

The deadline of submission of your Assignment-2 in Canvas is 29th January 11:59 PM. If you submit after that it will be considered as late submission. You will be penalised 10% of your total mark per working day for late submission. You will not get your mark if you do not submit your project materials and report. If you work in a group only one submission of a group member is fine. During submission you will need to provide the following content in a .zip file. 1. Your report in word document or pdf extension. You can make your own format or follow the sample reports that has been provided in Canvas. The report should contain the following materials a. Signed Contribution Agreement: of all team members (Must be signed by all the members, scanned, and attached otherwise your assignment cannot be marked) -- A temple can be found from Appendix. b. Links: Live url of your project (if any), repository url (github/bitbucket/google drive) of your source code (if any), public dataset links of your project (if any). c. Summary: The objective/purpose of your project. d. Introduction: Introduce your project such as: i. What are the motivations behind your idea? ii. What it does? iii. Why it is required? iv. How it can be used as real-life application? v. The advantages/positive/new things of your application. e. Related work: Refer some related works similar to your application. f. Software Design/Architecture i. A high level architectural diagram that shows the communication between different cloud components used in your project and purpose of using those components. ii. Description of your dataset/data structure/APIs/sensors you used for your project (if any) [use figure if required] g. Implementation - Developer Manual: A step-by-step guideline to reproduce your project [use figure if required] and make it live. This is like our tutorial sheet. For known/general description (e.g. creating and MySQL RDS instance in AWS, deploying project in Elastic Beanstalk, deploying project in Google cloud) you can refer to any web link directly. You can also refer to tutorial sheet if you have similar steps in your description (e.g. deploy application in Google cloud). h. A small user manual: A quick overview of how to use your application. i. References: Important references/website links that you use to develop your application. j. Video (optional): A video demonstration of your application (provide a YouTube link in the report). 2. Put all the images you have used in your report in a folder name doc_images. 3. Put all the source code of your project in a folder named code. If source code is greater than 5 MB then provide a google_drive/dropbox/github share link in a text file (name it code.txt). to download your source code. 4. Put runnable/deployable files (if any e.g. .war, .zip, .jar) in a folder named deploy 5. Put all the data/sql tables/sql script (if any) in a folder named data. If data files are too large then provide a link to download your data in a text file (name it data.txt) 6. A readme.txt with name and student number of team members, a short description of your project and the public link to access your project (if any). You must demo your project to your tutor by making appointment with your tutor. All demonstration will be completed by week 8th February. There will be penalty if you fail to complete and demonstrate your work by then. All team members must present during demo time and explain individual contributions. The demo is around 20 minutes (including project introduction, app demo and RMIT Classification: Trusted , Page 4 of 7 Q&A) for each team. Keep everything ready and make your application live during your demo. During demonstration you will need to use presentation slides to introduce your projects (no more than 10 pages). The presentation slides should include the presentable information of the following sections of your report: a. Summary (1 page) b. Introduction (1 page) c. Related work (1 page) d. Software Design/Architecture (1 page) e. Implementation (2-6 pages) 7. Academic integrity and plagiarism (standard warning) Academic integrity is about honest presentation of your academic work. It means acknowledging the work of others while developing your own insights, knowledge and ideas.
