In­ter­net of Things

Course content

Main aim of the course
The basic technical idea of the Internet of Things is that virtually every physical thing in this world can also become a small computer that is connected to the Internet. When they do so, they are often called 'smart things', and these smart things use embedded data mining to achieve their goals. Students will gain advanced technical knowledge of key theories, algorithms, models, frameworks, and technical solutions of the Internet of Things. In business, the Internet of Things can also create new business models, improve business processes, enhance supply chains, and reduce costs and risks. The student will acquire specialised problem-solving technical skills, being able to analyse and design new solutions based on Internet of Things technology. They shall take responsibility to conduct design and implementation of new Internet of Things solutions both on the hardware side and on the software side.

Technology, tools, and platforms
Internet of Things involve a number of different technologies: Programming, RFID, NFC tags, Bluetooth devices, proximity/touch/temperature/light sensors, IPv6 network, Zigbee etc.
