ADSE1310 Internet of Things Emneplan

I dette emnet skal studentene få en forståelse av noen av de viktigste prinsippene i Internet of Things (IoT). IoT kan gjøre mulig enestående og nyskapende produkter og tjenester. Studentene skal bli kjent med arkitekturer og intelligente algoritmer som styrer tingenes internett og Pervasive Computing. Målet med kurset er å gi studentene en helhetlig forståelse av IoT: fra et teknisk synspunkt, i tillegg til å vurdere konsekvensene for samfunnet (f.eks. personvern, sikkerhet), når milliarder (eller trillioner) enheter kommunisere med hverandre i "skyen".
