Module Overview:
To provide a comprehensive study in the Internet of Things including enabling technologies and various applications To develop design skills for creating new IoT applications and implementation To develop an understanding for requirements and technical solutions of intelligent services using sensing information The Internet of Things as a vision with technological and societal implications can be viewed as a global infrastructure for the information society, enabling advanced services by interconnecting (physical and virtual) things based on both existing and evolving interoperable ICTs. Through the exploitation of identification, data capture, processing and communication capabilities, the IoT makes full use of things to offer services to all kinds of applications, whilst maintaining the required privacy. This module focuses on concepts, architectures, protocols, services and applications, covering a broad range of technologies for a comprehensive understanding of the IoT.
