Big Data and Cloud Computing: FieldVision Cloud-Based Big Data Solution for AgroNova
This assessment is a 2,500-word individual report for the Big Data and Cloud Computing module within the MSc Management with Data Analytics programme at BPP University. The report is based on a fictional agricultural technology company, AgroNova, and its FieldVision project. AgroNova provides climate change and crop monitoring services to farmers in the UK and intends to expand internationally. However, its existing ageing infrastructure and manual processes present challenges to international expansion and the development of data-driven decision-making. The FieldVision project aims to use Internet of Things (IoT) technology and cloud-based big data solutions to collect, store and analyse real-time information from agricultural environments. The report requires students to act as a big data and cloud solution consultant and provide recommendations to senior management at AgroNova. The project involves IoT devices such as CropCam aerial cameras supplied by HydroSense and SmartHarvester solar-powered sensors supplied by SoilTech. These technologies collect information including crop imagery, soil moisture, temperature and humidity. The resulting data can support crop monitoring, risk assessment, early warning alerts, irrigation decisions, crop-failure claims validation and other farming-related insights. The first task focuses on Big Data Requirements and Storage Solutions. Students must identify the requirements arising from the scenario and critically evaluate a range of cloud-based big data storage solutions. The evaluation should consider factors such as capacity, functionality and costs. The second task requires students to propose one appropriate cloud-based solution architecture supported by an architecture diagram showing the essential components from data sources through to reporting. The selected architecture must be analysed in relation to AgroNova's requirements and the storage solutions considered in Task 1. The third task addresses Project Risks and Issues. Students must critically appraise the risks and issues associated with deploying the proposed cloud-based big data solution and identify appropriate mitigation approaches. These issues should be connected directly to the storage solutions and proposed architecture. The scenario highlights concerns from AgroNova's CISO, CFO and Chief Reputation Officer regarding potential data breaches, high costs and poor returns on investment, making security, financial viability and organisational risk important considerations. The report should contain an approximately 200-word introduction, an 800-word analysis of Big Data Requirements and Storage Solutions, a 500-word Proposed System Architecture section supported by relevant diagrams, an 800-word Project Risks and Issues section, and an approximately 200-word conclusion. Harvard referencing, academic research and appropriate supporting appendices are also required. The assessment addresses three learning outcomes: designing an architecture that supports complex data collection, critically evaluating data storage solutions from an enterprise systems perspective, and critically appraising issues involved in enterprise-system deployment.

Systems Analysis and Design
Systems Analysis and Design with UML – Individual Systems Design Assignment
This individual assignment forms Part 2 of the Systems Analysis and Design with UML assessment and contributes 50% of the overall module weighting. The uploaded guidance indicates that this component should continue directly from work completed in Part 1, meaning that the analysis and design developed previously should provide the foundation for the second-stage submission. The assignment is centred on the principles and practices of systems analysis and design using the Unified Modeling Language (UML). It is intended to demonstrate the application of structured analytical thinking and modelling techniques to the development or refinement of an information-system solution. Because Part 2 follows an earlier assessment component, continuity between the original problem definition, requirements and subsequent design work is likely to be an important aspect of the submission. Relevant areas may include requirements representation, system modelling, process and interaction analysis, object-oriented design and the use of appropriate UML artefacts to communicate system structure and behaviour. The work should therefore demonstrate how analytical findings are translated into coherent design decisions while maintaining alignment with the system requirements established during the earlier project stage. The assessment is individual and therefore should demonstrate independent understanding of the selected system, its requirements and the rationale underlying the proposed design. The uploaded summary confirms that this component is worth 50% of the module and has a submission deadline of 15 May 2026 at 17:00 GMT. Note: the actual detailed Part 2 brief is not contained in this uploaded summary, so specific UML diagrams, required sections, word count and marking criteria cannot be confirmed from this document alone. Entry 2 — Intelligent User Interfaces Part 1 Field Content to enter Title Smart Study Student Assistant: Intelligent User Interface Prototype University Not specified in the uploaded guideline Subject Intelligent User Interfaces / Human-Computer Interaction Module name Intelligent User Interfaces Academic level Not specified Academic year Not specified Assignment type Presentations and Academic Posters Reference style Not specified Word count Not applicable – maximum 10-minute pre-recorded prototype presentation Amount (₹) Enter your internal project amount Key topics Intelligent User Interfaces, Human-Computer Interaction, Smart Study Assistant, Student Productivity, Adaptive Interfaces, Personalised Learning, Study Planning, Question Generation, Low-Fidelity Prototyping, User-Centred Design, User Behaviour, Learning Progress, Educational Technology, UX Design, Personalisation Assignment overview This project prototype forms Part 1 of Intelligent User Interfaces and contributes 60% of the final module mark. The assessment requires a project prototype supported by a pre-recorded presentation of no more than ten minutes. The selected project concept is a Smart Study Student Assistant, positioned within education and student-productivity technology. The proposed system is an adaptive study-planning and note-based question-generation interface. Its purpose is to help students organise academic work by combining uploaded study notes, deadlines and information about user behaviour to generate personalised study plans and learning questions. The project addresses common problems including scattered study materials, missed deadlines, unclear schedules and the lack of personalised guidance on how and when students should study. The guidance specifically states that the solution should not be unnecessarily advanced. Instead, the design should focus on how the interface will be useful to different types of users. Low-fidelity material and supporting notes are also required, indicating that the project should demonstrate user-centred design thinking rather than focusing solely on technical sophistication. The intended goal is to provide personalised study plans, questions and guidance based on the student's notes and deadlines, supporting more consistent study habits and improved organisation. Tutor feedback describes the concept as relevant and well motivated but identifies one important weakness: the system's intelligent behaviour is currently under-specified. The tutor specifically recommends clarifying how study plans and question generation adapt according to user behaviour or learning progress. Accordingly, the prototype should communicate both the interface design and the adaptive logic that makes the system genuinely intelligent and user-centred. Entry 3 — Intelligent User Interfaces Part 2 Field Content to enter Title Intelligent User Interfaces – Individual Essay University Not specified in the uploaded guideline Subject Intelligent User Interfaces / Human-Computer Interaction Module name Intelligent User Interfaces Academic level Not specified Academic year Not specified Assignment type MS Essays Reference style Not specified Word count Not specified Amount (₹) Enter your internal project amount Key topics Intelligent User Interfaces, Human-Computer Interaction, Adaptive Interfaces, User-Centred Design, Intelligent Systems, Personalisation, User Experience, Educational Technology, Interaction Design, AI Interfaces Assignment overview This individual essay forms Part 2 of the Intelligent User Interfaces module and contributes 40% of the final module mark. The uploaded guidance identifies the submission deadline as 21 May 2026 at 16:00. The assessment belongs to the same Intelligent User Interfaces module as the Part 1 prototype project. The broader module context therefore concerns the design and evaluation of interfaces that use intelligent or adaptive behaviour to improve interaction between users and digital systems. Relevant considerations may include personalisation, adaptive interaction, usability, human-computer interaction, user behaviour and the responsible design of intelligent systems. However, the uploaded summary does not contain the actual Part 2 assessment brief, essay question, required word count, marking criteria or prescribed topic. It only confirms that the assessment is an individual essay worth 40% of the final mark. For that reason, the Reference Library overview should remain general rather than claiming that Part 2 specifically assesses the Smart Study Student Assistant. If the Part 2 essay is intended to continue or evaluate the Part 1 prototype, that relationship should only be added once the actual Part 2 assessment brief confirms it. The current document explicitly provides the Smart Study Student Assistant instructions under Subject 2, while no corresponding topic instructions are shown for Subject 3. So for Entry 3, I would keep the title and overview generic until the actual KV7005 Part 2 brief is uploaded.
