Purpose: Weather Monitoring System is to collect data on environmental conditions such as
temperature, pressure, humidity and light. (other parameters such as wind speed, wind direction, solar radiations, rainfall can also be added) using multiple end nodes.
Behavior: End nodes collect data from sensors at regular intervals say every 15 seconds to the cloud. Where the data is collected and analyzed.
Systems Management Requirement/ Data Analysis Management/ Application Deployment
Requirement: System does remote monitoring, remote data analysis and the application is also remotely deployed on the cloud.
Step2: Process specification.
Sensors are read after fixed intervals and the sensors measurements are stored.

WAIT 5 MINS Step 3: Domain model Specification
Defining the various physical, virtual entities and the services.
Physical Entity – environment which is being monitored.
Virtual entity – environment Devices include – temp sensor, pressure sensor, light sensor single board, computer. Services – Controller service that monitors, temperature, pressure humidity and light – sends reading to the cloud
resource Temperature Pressure Humidity Light Step4: Information Model Specification Corresponding to physical entity environment – there is a virtual entity – expanding on each virtual entity environment Step 5- Service Specifications Model
Derived From the highlighted portions of process and information model – service Model – Controller Service that runs as a native service on the device and monitors parameters every 15 seconds. The controller service calls the REST service to store these measurements in the cloud.

Service Model for Weather Monitoring System
Deployment Level Specification – Step 6
The system has multiple nodes placed in different locations for monitoring – temperature , pressure, light, humidity. The end nodes are equipped with sensors – send data to the cloud, data is stored in the cloud database. Analysis done in cloud to aggregate data and make predictions. Cloud based applications for visualizing data. The centralized controller on the cloud can send control commands to the end nodes for e.g. to change monitoring intervals. Step 7: Functional View Specification Step 8: Operational View Specification
Selection of Various Hardware & Software Componments
Services: Controller – Native – Python Why Python 1) Minimalistic Language- English like keywords, fewer syntactical constructions- easier to learn 2) Compact – when compared to other languages. 3) Interpreted Language – does not require compilation python interpreter converts python code to intermediate byte code specific to system. 4) Python supported on wide range of platforms – hence portable 5) Wide Library support 6) Can be used for End-to-End development of IoT systems – device code, native service, web service, web applications, analytics
Applications Web Applications – Django Application Server – Django Why Django? The Django framework that is designed to support web apps including web services, resources and web APIs alleviate the overhead associated with common activities performed with web development. It allows clean and rapid development of pragmatic design without reinventing the wheel. Advantages of Django • Based on Python • Open Source – Works on any Platform • Transparent & High Quality code writing Disadvantage of Django • Does not allow RT Web Applications Database – MySQL Advantages of MySQL (Structured Query Language) • Support for Deeply Embedded Systems • 1 MB footprint – even when data is in TB • Data Protection Mechanism via Authentication Built -in • Allows high speed and large data accesses.
Analytics – Hadoop Advantages of Hadoop • Robust even when there is some failure in the cloud. • Two Parts – a data processing framework and distributed file system for storage • Has component built in for a distributed system.
Observer – Cloud Application, Mobile Application
Security Authentication: Web Application, Database Authorization: Web application, Database
This involves the embedded system design of the local device – the weather monitoring system that has the microcontroller and the sensors connected to it. The system is built around Raspberry PI with sensors for light, temperature, pressure and humidity. Data is collected from these sensors at regular intervals of 15 seconds and is sent to the cloud. The figure shows the schematic of this system. Though currently the system only monitors four parameters other sensors can be added later. Step 10: Application Development
The figure is a screenshot of a Weather Monitor System (This is one possible application Interface)
The application shows the temperature, pressure, humidity, wind direction & speed, solar radiation as well as the current weather forecast. The application allows the user to select from which site he wants the data – based on the site it displays the parameters on the screen- While displaying the parameters of (current value) of all sites on the left pane. The parameter to be displayed can be selected by the user from the list of weather parameters.
