Objectives
The Internet of Things is based on the continuous progress of microelectronic and network technologies that allow the deployment of distributed services on networks of interconnected communicating objects.
This module will first provide an overview of the Internet of Things, from the norms, standards and technologies on which it is based, to the applications and security issues.
In a second step, the students will be made aware of the notions of concurrent programming as well as of real-time and embedded systems. In this way, students will acquire the necessary knowledge to understand the principles of realization of highly connected systems (IoT) as well as their processing.
