Course Goals (acquired competencies): The aims of the course include familiarization with the technologies and architectures in the field of the Internet of Things. After completing the course, students will know the concepts of the Internet of Things and will work, design and analyze IoT systems in different domains: designing devices, connecting devices, application-level protocols, routing protocols, and appropriate security in these systems. Students will be able to use the learned concepts in the many domains of application: smart environments, industrial and home networks of devices, as well as application in sensor and actuator networks. Also, students will be able to know and understand relevant IoT business aspects, appropriate business models and their application. |

| 11. | Course Syllabus:
The term Internet of Things describes the evolution from networks that simply connect digital information, to networks where digital information is associated to physical devices from the real world. The Internet of Things encompasses all objects, places, things, products and users that are connected to a global network and possibly equipped with sensors. The course will cover all the concepts of the IoT area, including the business development needs and its applications as well as the role of the necessary technologies for its support (sensors, RFID, NFC, EPC architectures). Internet of Things Technologies: Wireless IP Networks and Architectures; Architectural layers of IoT systems; Design of smart devices and architectures; "Lightweight" IP network protocols; Connecting smart objects and "very-small-things" to the Internet; Communications in multi-hop and mesh networking; Low power and Lossy Networks (LLN); Embedded Web services and Web of Things; Security aspects in IoT networks and systems; Various areas and industries of application: smart homes, smart healthcare, smart communications, smart cities, industrial application. Challenges for the security and privacy of participants and users of the Internet of Things. All aspects of privacy and security, from the lowest hardware level to the application level. Business aspects of the Internet of Things. The impact of the technologies used to define business values for fine monitoring and management of business processes through IoT technologies. Knowledge and understanding of relevant potential business models and their application in specific projects. |
