Internet of Things and Data Analytics

Acquis d'apprentissage

Ubiquitous computing is about weaving the sensing, communication and computing technologies into the fabric of everyday life until the digital world is seamlessly integrated with the physical environments, which was the vision of Mark Weiser in 1991. Leveraging this vision, Kevin Ashton created the term Internet of Things (IoT) in 1999 to emphasize that fact that future everyday objects in our environment will all be connected to Internet, such that we can connect, monitor, control everything remotely via Internet. In this course, we will take an interdisciplinary look at this emerging area and study the following key topics in building ubiquitous systems and Internet of Things:
• Vision in Ubiquitous Computing and Internet of Things
• Context-Aware Computing
• Mobile and Wireless Sensing
• Big Data Analytics
• Social and Community Intelligence
• Applications in Smart Home, Elder Care, Healthcare, Transportation, etc..
This is an advanced course with the goal to introduce the recent technologies in computing, networking and sensing with real-world applications to students. This course will have three main components: lectures, paper readings and hands-on projects. The papers will be drawn from major Pervasive Computing journals and conference proceedings. In the hands-on projects, students will form teams to explore actual design and prototype of ubiquitous computing systems or applications.
