Problem Definition
As part of SMART University project, Classroom Information Notification System (CINS) needs to be developed to provide university staff with information upon request and notify them of the comfort of the students when they are in a classroom. CINS interacts with classroom sensors and provide information on a special classroom display.
Each classroom is equipped with a number of sensors. Sensors monitor temperature, noise, humidity and light.
The comfort of the students is captured by a typical crowdsourcing system. All students in the classroom can enter their comfort information from point of view of thermal comfort as well as the noise and the adequacy of their space. The students/crowdsourcing system will moderate all the entries and passes any relevant information onto the CINS.
CINS monitors sensors that are installed in each class, collect information and aggregate the information and pass to the staff either automatically or upon request. The update of the thermal comfort of the class is every 10 minutes.
You are responsible for the design and implementation of CINS, which will receive information from the students/crowdsourcing system and the class sensors and send information to the classroom display. Beside this, the relevant information can be logged for a period of time (one year) and the logged data could be later used.
