Abstract—For the past decade, we have seen an introduction
of hardware/software automated systems in our community,
which offer new and interesting advantages to the associated
sides. However, it has become less adopted because it exposes the
organizations or individuals to a variety of difficulties and
limitations. Moreover, the traditional communication methods
such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and GSM network, which are used to
consolidate hardware with software limits the system
functionality and scalability.
This paper proposes a new approach for integrating
hardware with software through cloud computing. Utilizing
cloud computing as the network backbone produces better
opportunities and best practices to organizations and
individuals over traditional communication methods. The paper
will demonstrate how a microcontroller can be connected to a
handheld device through cloud as well as providing solutions for
mapping related devices and securing their channels from other
devices in the system.
Index Terms—Android, Arduino, cloud computing,
hardware/software integration, verification process.
