Fundamentals of Internet of Things

  • Computer Science |

Description

This course aims to introduce students to the principles of the Internet of Things (IoT). The course introduces the students to the basic pillars of IoT networks such as popular IoT architectures, core modules and possible use cases of IoT in diverse applications such as industry, healthcare, transportation, military, etc. In addition, students study the details of each layer of the IoT architecture such as the perception layer, communication layer and application layer with a focus on how IoT constraint devices affect the design of each layer. Other IoT-related topics are also discussed in this course such as Quality of Service (QOS), security and privacy vulnerabilities and countermeasures in IoT-based networks. Students are asked to apply concepts introduced in this course by implementing a prototype of an IoT-based network.
