Description:

The cloud can facilitate users to have simple and easy maintenance, no capital investment, provide infinite computing power and high volume of data storage for their application needs. In spite of these advantages of cloud some sensitive applications have various specific challenges, during cloud implementation, such as security, privacy, accountability, auditability, and transparency for their transferred/stored data in the cloud. 

In this assignment you are required to select any one of the following application and present the challenges in implementing the application in cloud environment based on the referred research papers.

Each member in a team is required to refer at least 1 journal paper or 2 conference papers.  Therefore, a team will have to refer at least 2 journal papers or 4 conference papers.

The list of applications is given below:

§  Healthcare  application

§  Banking/Finance  application

§  Enterprise Resource Planning (any modules) application

§  Insurance  application

§  Mobile application

§  Forensic Science application

§  Email application

§  Data mining application

§  Network monitoring application

§  Any other application – approved by your tutor

To avoid repeated selection of same application among various teams – the selection will be restricted to number of teams in the class.  There is no specific number - your lecture/tutor will advise you through Moodle announcement and/or in the tutorials.

Research Papers:

The referred conference research paper should be from IEEE, ACM digital library or from Google Scholar and the length of the paper should not be less than 6 pages. A journal paper can be from IEEE, ACM, Elsevier and Springer and the length of the paper should not be less than 10 pages. The aim of this assignment is to understand the challenges involved in implementing the cloud for certain applications. Therefore, all the referred paper should be relevant to the selected application. If you are not sure about the selected research papers, before preparing your presentation, consult with your lecture/tutor about the selected research papers and the relevant application.

Presentation:

Each team should present their work in the Week 11 during lecture time. Each presentation is expected to take between 15 to 20 minutes – this includes Q&A session at the end of your presentation. You will be stopped after 20 minutes, so please time your presentation accordingly so that you have allocated adequate time for your Q&A.

Your presentation should be presented as a collective effort, not a series of referred research papers presented by various team members.  Check the criteria for assessment/marking guidelines below for the presentation - it is important is to get the all the referred materials relevant to the application and combine them coherently to satisfy the criteria for assessment.

Criteria for assessment:

A walk through for your presentation is given below that would satisfy the marking guidelines. Please note this is only a suggestion – as long as your presentation covers the requirement given in the marking guidelines marks will be awarded.

In the presentation, your team should briefly introduce the selected application i.e. it should answer the following questions: What are the functionalities of the application? What are the processes involved?  And how it is used in the real-time and any generic overview about the application?

Following that the sensitivity should be emphasised in the presentation - the sensitivity depends on the type of the selected application and should be from the referred material.

Owing to the sensitivity, the challenges involved in cloud implementation should be discussed. Here you can compare and talk about the traditional/existing implementation and cloud based implementation. This can be from the referred and/or based on the knowledge gained from this unit.  

Describe the implemented details of your selected application in the cloud environment. An application can be implemented in the cloud and can be delivered as one of the cloud types (IaaS, PaaS or SaaS) and as one of the cloud models (Public, Private, Hybrid or Community). Based on the knowledge gained from this unit and/or from the research papers you are required to give any suggestion/ideas for the challenges faced in cloud-based implementation.

The team should end the presentation and allow time for the Q&A about their presentation within the allotted 20 minutes. It is not necessary that your team have to use Power point slides  - your team may present “live” or choose to create a presentation through another medium to show. Marks will be based on the quality of how it is presented to the audience.

Submission:

You are required to submit a single zip file that contains the power point slides (if any) and the referred research papers before your presentation in the link provided in the Moodle – only one submission per team. Please name your zip file, using one of the team member’s name as follows:

FAMILYNAME_ GivenName _StudentID _Assign1

For example:  SMITH_John_30091234_Assign1.zip

Plagiarism:

Students are reminded that this assignment is to be performed as team and that no team should seek to take credit for work originating from another party. You are referred to the plagiarism section of your unit description for more information.
