Course history

Introduction

In this course, the students will gain an understanding of some of the most important principles of the Internet of Things (IoT). IoT enables the development of unique, innovative products and services. The students will become familiar with architecture and intelligent algorithms that govern IoT and pervasive computing. The goal of the course is to give the students an overall understanding of IoT: from a technical point of view - and in relation to the consequences for society (for example privacy preservation, security) - when billions (or trillions) of units communicate with each other in ‘the cloud’.

Recommended preliminary courses

The course builds on the computer science courses from the first semester.

Required preliminary courses

No requirements over and above the admission requirements.

Learning outcomes

After completing the course, the student is expected to have achieved the following learning outcomes defined in terms of knowledge, skills and competence:

Knowledge

The student

  • has a basic technical understanding of the functioning of Internet and computer networks
  • has an overview of the most important principles in pervasive computing, and the Internet of Things, which include wearable devices, context aware computing, health monitoring, smart houses, crowd sensing, smart grids and ambient intelligence
  • understands the basic technical principles behind different algorithms for autonomous control in the Internet of Things
  • has an understanding of how the Internet of Things and pervasive computing affect security and the protection of privacy in our society
  • has good knowledge of the scientific advances and technology leaps that  enabled the Internet of Things

Skills
