IMPORTANT INFORMATION

The course will start Thursday Feb 28th 2019.


SYLLABUS

The course will make students aware of the challenges behind the design, implementation and field use of Wireless system, Sensing systems and the Internet of Things. The course will present both the theoretical foundations and practical aspects you need to know to develop such systems. Hands on lab experiences are associated to the course. In addition there is a AFC (attività formatica complementare) on embedded and Internet of Things Isystems that is envisioned to be siding the course and is highly recommended, in addition to the Internet of Things class, to those students wanting to master the subject.

The course will cover the following topics:

Part 1, Prerequisites

Fundamentals of wireless systems

Fundamental of ad hoc and cellular networks

From 2G to 5G

Part 2, Internet of Things Core

Internet of Thigs applications, architectures, enabling technologies and protocols

Software platforms for Internet of Things systems: Amazon, Azure, Watson…

Cyber physical systems: aerial, surface and underwater drones

Part 3, Emerging Technological Trends in Internet of Things

Wake Up Radio, energy harvesting, passive backscattering

Blockchain and ledger technologies for Internet of Things

Machine learning for Internet of Things Isystems

Part 4, From technologies to Applications

Internet of Things for smart planet and smart cities

Smart Transportation systems

Transversal Topics

Performance evaluation of Internet of Things systems

How to model, what to model

Simulators for Internet of Things systems: Green Castalia

How to move from an idea to a validated idea to a solution

Lab: The course has associated an Attività Formativa Complementare that focuses on hands on experiences with embedded and IoTsystems. It is highly recommended for the students interested in mastering in Internet of Things to follow such activity. The two courses (Internet of Things and the AFC) provide also some lectures on C/C++ tailored to what needed to program Internet of Things devices.


COURSE MATERIAL

Slides, chapters, papers.


EXAMS, GRADING AND EXTRA CREDITS

We will have a midterm on April 8th (on topics covered through April 1st) and a final written exam on May 30th (on the remaining topics, excluding the lab). Rules: If a student passes at least one of the (midterm/final) tests he/she will be allowed to take the missing one in the June/July exam sessions. In such sessions it will also be possible to take a complete written exam on the topics covered during the course. In the fall and winter exam sessions students will have to take the complete written exam to pass the class. Students attending the lab will have the opportunity (it will not be mandatory) to take an exam associated to it to get up to 3 extra points. The exam will be at the end of the lab. Students attending the theory seminars will have the opportunity to do a modeling project for up to 3 extra points (maximum 4 extra points overall). Extra points and associated lab/theory exam sessions will be possible only if students pass the exam in the June/July session, or through midterm and final.
