Comparison of Cloud Platforms Designed for Big Data Storage and Analysis

Diplomski rad bavi se usporedbom tehnologija "u oblaku" korištenih za potporu konkretnoj mobilnoj aplikaciji za Android mobilne uređaje. Nakon uvodnog poglavlja, razrađeni su koncepti "velikih podataka" i "računarstva u oblaku". Na kraju, demonstrirana je sama mobilna aplikacija sa svojim slučajevima korištenja i funkcionalnostima, uz prikaz najrelevantnijih isječaka programskog kôda. Opisano je i korištenje senzora mobilnog uređaja, a u zaključku rada dan je sažet osvrt na iskorištene platforme u oblaku.This graduation thesis deals with the comparison of cloud-based technologies used for back-end support for a specific Android mobile application. Following the introduction chapter, the concepts of "Big Data" and cloud computing are elaborated. Lastly, the mobile application itself is demonstrated along with all of its use cases and functionalities with the preview of the most relevant source code snippets. Usage of mobile sensors is also described and in the conclusion of the thesis, a brief review of the used cloud platforms is given
