    The SIF Project
Briefly, the Smart Infrastructure Foundation (SIF) is a cloud-based platform designed to make it easier to store, manage, retrieve, and visualize data from IoT devices. If you're still interested, check out my MS thesis and you will learn more than you ever wanted to know about it!
SIF Repositories
SIF is composed of several separate components. This disjoint nature is by design and affords a number of benefits, described thoroughly in my thesis on this project.


Component
Link
Summary


Ingest
tic/sif-ingest-broker
Authenticates, formats, and directs incoming data.


Insert
tic/sif-stream-broker
Translates standardized data into database format.


API
tic/sif-api
Provides programmatic access to the platform's internals.


Website
tic/sif-frontend
Small website for conducting a subset of the possible API tasks using a graphical interface.


Virtual Sensor Example
tic/smart-inf-virtual-sensor
An example of how to send data to the SIF platform, stylized as a 'virtual' data collecting device.
