Peter bought a four bedroom, two-storey house in Sydney, Australia two years ago. He wants to convert his
house into a smart home office. He consulted the STOG Technology Consulting Corporation to develop an
intelligent tracking system. Ideally, he would like to see his smart home office to be energy efficient, with state
of the art technology, and with high quality entertainment systems for his children.
Installing sensors for lighting, security and temperature in each room is one of the essential requirements for
designing and renovating the house. The other requirement is an intelligent tracking system to allow Peter and
his wife to be able to monitor their children’s location and energy consumption in each room. Peter would like
to have the intelligent tracking system installed on the mobile for easy viewing, downloading, and printing of
any related billing data and information anytime and anywhere. He also wants the system to connect well to the
mobile devices of his three children, Dylan, Jordan and Marileen, in order to notify them when lighting or
computers or entertainment devices have not been turned off.
Regarding the billing system’s features, Peter would like to know when and for what purpose his children use
the office, and what time they are in their bedrooms. He and his wife suspect that their children use the
entertainment system in the office when they are not around, so they want to track office usage in order to
monitor electricity consumption in the room. You, as a trainee for the Sunrise Consulting Corporation in the
department of software development, are asked to participate in this project. Your manager, Mr. Sam Gale, has
asked you to submit an Information Systems report to him to address the following concerns:
1. Find three recent (from 2012 to 2015) research articles on the Internet of Things (IOT) for home and/or
office installation and write a one-page of summary on what you understand from each article. (3
marks)
2. Suggest and discuss 2 IOT items that you believe that can be integrated into the design of Peter’s house
which a billing system incorporates for tracking purposes. (2 marks)
3. Draw a rich picture (no hand drawn) diagram and discuss in detail the stakeholders who will be
affected by the tracking system. (5 marks)
4. Propose a software development methodology for the project based on a 6 months timeline with project
funding of AUD$30,000 excluding all hardware costs. Explain the activities required to develop the
tracking system. (4 marks)
5. Show and discuss with the aid of a network typology (no hand drawn) diagram how Peter or his wife
could retrieve information from the tracking system. (2 marks)
6. Draw a swimlane diagram (no hand drawn) to show a billing system generates a monthly statement to
home residents for the home electricity bill. In addition, you must create a spread sheet to show to Peter
and Kelly on their mobile that 1) the daily electricity usage information on each room and 2) the
breakdown of data and information of each child’s time spent in each room to update Peter and Kelly.
(4 marks)
7. Discuss three benefits and three value added items of the tracking system to IS and consumers. (3
marks)
