Objectives
1. The aim of this unit is to develop skills in the field of embedded systems (SE) and wireless sensor networks (WSN). To know the technological trends which have led to the Internet of Things (IoT) and its impact on society.
2. To know the fundamentals of SE, WSN and IoT technologies, platforms and architectures.
Define for each of these systems the architecture, communication models, interfaces, components and interactions with the physical world. Explore wireless technologies and study the most commonly used platforms and hardware components for IoT devices. Describe the interactions between software and hardware on IoT device. Describe the function of an operating system and its software support on IoT device. Brief introduction to network protocols for IoT like IPV6, 6LowPan, MQTT, CoAP, RPL and RESTFull protocols.
3. Develop practical and web service applications for IoT and WSN networks using the Contiki operating system. Explore IoT capabilities and applications by developing point-to-point IPV6 applications using state-of-the-art IoT devices and connections to IoT cloud platforms (ThingSpeak, NodeRed, SicsthSense).
