Node-RED is an innovative visual wiring tool to connect edge computing systems such as industrial
automation controllers to cloud services such as Amazon Web Services (AWS) IoT, IBM Watson
IoT, and Microsoft Azure in new and interesting ways. The Node-RED development environment
offers a gradual and easily approachable learning curve for users of all levels and requires little to no
programming skills. Through a visual browser-based, drag-and-drop interface, Node-RED allows you
to focus on identifying an opportunity and developing a solution, rather than building the components
of an application from scratch. The objective of this assignment is to test your knowledge and skills
obtained from the laboratory exercises in this course where you used IBM cloud platform (PaaS) and
Node-RED (node.js) run-time. After completion of the assessment task you will value the need for
cloud and enterprise computing and value the cloud services provided in contemporary computing.
This is a group assignment. For this assignment you will work in a group of maximum THREE
students. You are required to join a group of your choice the latest ONE week after this document is
published (released). The assignment consists of three parts:
1. an application development with Node-RED;
2. a written report and;
3. a video recording of your Node-RED application demonstration
