Hi!
We continue with the end of the more organizational part of the investigation, in this second block.
Define resources of the research Project
In this section all the resources necessary for the development of the research project will be defined, excluding the personnel discussed in the previous section.
01. Infrastructure:
The infrastructure of this research project is quite simple, as no specialised laboratories or other special or complex equipment will be needed.
A small rented meeting room will be available where mobile testing sessions, recording of terminals, etc. can be carried out.
All team members will work remotely and will be able to come to the office when strictly necessary for recordings, or for important meetings such as weekly follow-up meetings or other events.
Therefore, within this section the need for a meeting room for six people is defined.
02. Travel accommodation and subsistence:
This section will take into account the expenses of the two team members who will attend the conference where the results of the research will be presented. These expenses include the costs of air and train travel, food, other minor expenses such as taxis or buses, and travel insurance.
The resources are:
- Transport.
- Accomodations.
- Feeding.
- Travel Insurance.
03. Durable equipment:
This section includes long-term resources, those that can be reused in other projects: equipment, disks, etc.
The resources in this section are:
- Network attached storage (NAS) device for providing redundant local copies with protection against disasters, viruses, intrusions, etc. Model Synology DiskStation DS923+ NAS Storage Server.
- Four disk for the Network Storage enclosure, model WD Red Pro 6TB 3.5″ SATA3. These disks will be arranged in the NAS to ensure redundancy and availability of local data.
- Photo and video camera to acquire images and video for processing and analysis. Model Nikon Reflex D3000 – Black + Nikon Nikon AF-S DX 18-55 mm f/3.5-5.6 G VR f/3.5-5.6 GVR (Refurbished). We will purchase a refurbished camera to reduce costs.
- Communication cable to connect the réflex camera and the laptop. Model Coolpix 3000 connection Cable.
- Four mobile devices for locking and unlocking tests. For the entire test phase, data acquisition and unlocking checks. Model Xiaomi Redmi 12 8/256GB Mobile Phone.
04. Fungible equipment (consumable cost):
This section includes cloud computing expenses, since you pay for what you use in the Microsoft public cloud. The following cloud computing services are taken into account in this section:
05. Others:
No other resource needs have been described.
And with that, we’re done, at least, I’d like to think so.
