Smart Systems - Extra Credit Project

Choose one of the following topics and write a 7-page Word document, double-spaced, detailing

at least 10 specifications/functions/technologies and the system(s) involved in the Smart System.

• Smart Cities

• Smart Highways

• Smart Factories/Warehouses

• Smart Data Centers

• Smart Homes

Your paper should include a number of topic sections, each covering a technology/idea and

providing the following:

1. A heading for the technology

2. A description of the technology

3. The specifications for the technology.

a. What is its purpose?

b. What operations it performs.

c. What are its inputs (resources, interfaces, when used).

d. What are its outputs (interfaces, data).

e. How does the technology integrate within the system.

f. How important is the technology to the system.

Your paper should conclude with a section the describes:

1. The overall system.

2. The system’s overall purpose.

3. The system’s complexity/cost/feasibility.

4. Any constraints or risks found during the research.

5. How the various technologies integrate to accomplish the system goals.

You can use youtube as an observation method and/or do research for more detail. To receive

full credit for this assignment, you must not only document the smart technology/ideas but also

document how these smart ideas are integrated as processes within a system (i.e. Smart Cities

have a lot of smart tools but these tools are integrated as a smart system used across multiple

platforms – infrastructure, transportation, etc.)

You must include at least 10 references with citations. These references do not need to be

scholarly and can include videos, websites, blogs, etc.
