Software hardware combination for data gathering

Abstract

The Internet of things (IoT) is a growing area in everyday life. New applications under the umbrella term IoT are being developed continually. This development has raised the need for framework definitions for different purposes. This research introduces a special software/hardware (SW/HW) framework for data gathering systems to be used in IoT related systems. The purpose of the research is to show the usability of a certain software hardware combination in prototype development. <br/>The SW/HW framework has been developed during several research projects. These projects have contained multiple iteration rounds. The main contribution of this research is the framework itself. The framework consists of a model of the system, sensor network, and cloud service. This research introduces the framework, its main components, and the usability of the framework in selected use cases.<br/>
