Project Title: Remote and Automated Control of Aquarium Using Short Message Service
Student: Eyal Glozer
Course: BSc Hons Computer Science	

Abstract:
In recent years, smart environments have emerged as an integral part of 
modern and future homes. Numerous networked and intelligent devices, 
embedded into the home environment provide residents with the easier 
and more mobile lifestyle they seek. Furthermore, the rise in the number 
of elderly people especially in the developed world and the technology 
dependent population (disability) will increase the need for smart homes 
and thus will envisage smart homes as the norm for all future homes. 
Although fish aquariums require a high level of maintenance, aquariums 
are becoming a common household and office item. Larger, more complex 
custom built aquariums are becoming more and more popular.
This project looks at the development of a system that could remotely 
control an aquarium, enabling the suer to communicate with the system 
through text messages in order to control and monitor the status of the 
aquarium. I.e. will be able to perform functions without sisturbing the 
user or contact the user when requisite. Automated responses by the 
system will trigger a message to be delivered to the user with a variety 
of options to perform. For example, irregular faults/errors by the system 
will generate a text delivery to the user describing the problem.
