Title: Development of COAP based app (application) for smartphone-sensor interactions.

Aim: This work aims to develop a COAP (COnstrained Application Protocol) based application forandroid phones that can be used to interact with remote sensors.

Pre-requisites: Networks. Programming skills in C and Java.

Brief Summary: Constrained Application Protocol is an application protocol intended to be used invery simple electronic devices that allows them to communicate interactively over the Internet. It isparticularly targeted for small low power sensors, switches that need to be controlled or supervisedremotely, through standard Internet networks. We aim to develop an application that is used toaccess data from sensors. There would be two modules: 1. Smart App Module 2. Sensor Module.Through a smart phone application we would access data from sensors. Various implementation ofthe protocol are readily available in languages like Java, Python, C etc for both android and sensordevices on different platforms.

Milestones: Literature review of COAP, Contiki, and some related works, Design of smart phoneapplication, porting of COAP based application to programmable device and establishingcommunication between devices.

Note: The required devices for working on the project would be provided. This project is designedto continue for 1.5 years and future directions would be accoordingly communicated. Interestedstudents can email or contact me for further details.
