Developed a widget on flash-yahoo widget platform for smart energy management in domestic households with web server integration. This was based on a in-house electricity and energy study at Fraunhofer Institute of Technology, Germany. The output was tested and implemented on a small scale based on Component end user development Design (CoEUD) methodology.
Project Timeline - Planning and Defining Deadlines A detailed over view of the electricity system in germany and how the billing and functions go on. An broad understanding of the user habits and behavior.
Defining the model under consideration and the process of data transfer. How RFID technology can be used in implementing the desired system, where the user fits in and how he will use the technology.
Preparing mockup vizualizations and charts for the energy outputs folllowed by presentation to the industrial partners and thier feedbacks on the same. The objective was to prepare an widget which can function on iphones and computers
Data Representations and how user will control the appliances throught the interfaces, conceptual understanding through diagrams and mockups on flash.
A complete Flow diagram of the process under consideration and subsequent implementation of the above model taking into consideration the setup time and the usage time of the application
Extensive coding in flash, XML and Java for creating the Widget in a yahoo widget platform followed by testing of the same on netvibes and igoogle.
Analysis of the developed widget and improvements brought in after user survey - a complete widget which provides the user to remotely control appliances monitor his power usage through visualizations in the widget
Testing the widget in a Yahoo! widget platform and as a windows side bar application (in concept) and its compatibility with igoogle and netvibes followed by implementation on the computer
iPhone Implementation and testing the widget was found to be fully functional and usable. No reports of bugs and errors
A research Publication in a Journal on software engineering of the work done.
