Learning Objectives
Knowledge and understanding (CC)
The main objective of the teaching is to provide the student with the system knowledge necessary to choose and optimally use the technologies to be included in a specific Internet-of-Things (IoT) scenario. The course aims to give an advanced view of the enabling technologies of the Internet-of-Things with particular reference to the applications that wireless sensor networks (WSN) are able to implement in the industrial and medical fields, through solutions for monitoring and control of remote devices.
Ability to apply knowledge and understanding (CA)
- know the main elements of IoT systems, understanding the differences compared to traditional processing systems;
- know the constraints that these systems impose in terms of computational, safety and energy consumption, understanding the relationship between the desired functions and the performance metrics;
- know the tools for interfacing these devices with networks, understanding the differences compared to traditional network interfaces;
- based on the requirements, appropriately identify the architecture and communication protocols for IoT applications in the industrial and medical fields;
- analyze the performance requirements and evaluate the performance of IoT applications in the industrial and medical fields.
Prerequisites
None
Teaching Methods
Frontal lessons.
Some optional seminar hours may be provided with the intervention of sector operators.
The exam will verify the student's knowledge of IoT systems, in particular of the architectures and protocols for IoT applications in the industrial and medical fields, and the ability to analyze and formalize the performance of IoT systems in these fields.
Further information
Type of Assessment
The exam consists of a written test lasting 2 hours.
During the test the student will have to demonstrate: a) di
know the topics related to the course program and understand the
main conceptual categories; b) to express their opinions with properties of
language and awareness of the technical terminology used.
Course program
To provide the main knowledge of IoT systems in the industrial and medical fields, the course is basically divided into two parts.
