Edge Computing in the IoT

IoT systems are composed of networked computing elements that are integrated into the physical world and interact with it. The course introduces students to embedded hardware, embedded operating systems, embedded programming, sensors and actuators, specific network protocols, and computational models. Interaction of the computational elements among themselves and with the physical world will be a central element of the course. In discussing computational models, the course will especially focus on their deployment of machine learning algorithms to edge devices.

In this course, students will learn about Internet of Things (IoT), the peculiarities of programming IoT nodes, and how interaction with the physical world is managed. 

In presence

The course will include frontal instruction as well as lab sessions and group work on projects.

Students will be evaluated based on:

• A group course project to be carried out during the course (45%)
• A group oral presentation on network protocols (10%)
• A written exam (45%)
