Assignment - System Discovery & Vulnerability Investigation
Topic - Smart Road and Transportation
Assignment Part A
For this assessment task, you will create a written technical report to explore one smart/automation system that has been applied to an industry or field. The purpose of this assignment is for you to develop your big-picture thinking, and to explore various impacts of the ever-changing IT industry.
Assessment Details
1. Search literature and real-world applications in your life environment, get to know one category of smart systems that have been applied in one of the following areas:
a. Smart Home and Furniture
b. Smart Care for Older People
c. Smart Logistics and Retail
d. Smart Agriculture
e. Smart Environment and Ecosystems
f. Smart Medicine and Healthcare
g. Smart Roads and Transportation
2. Discover via Step 1, one specific smart system/device of your interest. Note that the chosen system/device must include mobile and/or cloud components.
The following gives a list of example systems, on which a collection of literatures has been provided on Moodle as the references
1) Wearable Sensor for Human Activities Monitoring
2) Body Area Network
3) IoT Health Monitoring System
4) Agriculture Product Traceability System
5) 5G Application System
6) Smart Home Robot
3. Conduct system discovery (on the system from the viewpoint of system function, architecture, access control, and communication, respectively, and prepare a technical report in the following structure.
1. Introduction (new functions and applications in Industry).
2. Review of how cyber-attacks happened to the smart system
3. System Architecture (components, Internal and external connections, and key technologies)
4. Vulnerability Analysis and Countermeasure (space for Assignment Part B)
5. Related works and summary (similar systems comparison)
Students can include diagrams and tables to present your information in the report. Report should be maximum 3 pages and should include title, abstract, and reference.
Complete this work by 3rd September and then discuss with your lecturer and start working on assignment part B.
Overview
Assignment Part B
In this second part of assessment, you will be required to conduct a system vulnerability investigation on the smart system you choose for part A of assignment and complete the whole technical report. The purpose of this assignment is for you to apply learning knowledge to real world applications, analyze the world application system in a way that generates valued insights, and think critically to seek solutions.
Assessment Details
1. Think of yourself as an examiner or auditor of the system from your assignment part A, and Identify open issues and limitations of the system by considering the following sample questions:
Are the assumptions reasonable and realistic? Is the solution practical?
Any technical errors and limitations? Any problems with the experiments? Do the results support the claims?
Any way to improve the work?
How does the work relate to other topics previously covered in class?
2. Summarize all threats, vulnerability or weak points of the system into a table, complete the whole technical report by revising assignment part A report according to the feedback received from lecturer, and extending assignment part A report to be in the following structure:
1. Abstract
2. Introduction (new functions and applications in Industry)
3. System Architecture (components, Internal and external connections, and key technologies)
4. Technological issues and problems
5. Threats, Vulnerability and Possible Attacks
6. Countermeasures
7. Experimental Attack Process (optional)
8. Conclusion (summary of your findings)
9. Reference Students can include at least two diagrams and/or tables to present your information in the report. Report should be 8-10 pages including title, abstract, and reference. Technical report should be formatted in the ACM proceedings format. You may find the templates for word and LaTex.
We recommend using the LaTeX Collaborative Authoring Tool on Overleaf Platform included on the above page that is particularly convenient for group projects.
