Overview
Advances related to energy efficiency issues and cost reductions have resulted in the rapid growth and deployment of networked devices and sensing/actuation systems that connect the physical word with the cyber-world. The number of devices connected to the Internet already exceeds the number of people on earth and is estimated to grow to 50 billion devices beyond 2020.
The resulting framework, which is known as the Internet of Things (IoT), incorporates a number of technologies, including wireless sensor networks, pervasive systems, ambient intelligence, context-awareness and distributed systems. This course will provide an overview of the key concepts and enabling technologies for the Internet of Things, including: Wireless Sensor Networks, Platforms (Hardware, Software), Machine-to-Machine communications (M2M), protocols and standards (e.g. 6LowPAN, ZigBee, CoAp), semantic technologies, and IoT data analytics and the IoT applications.
Having the lectured theory side of the module along with the programming with a module was a nice balance between theoretical teaching and applied knowledge.
