Module 1: Perspectives on The Internet of Things (IoT) Danny Hughes, Wouter Joosen, Sam Michiels October-December

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) Tiny computers with low-power radios self organize to provide distributed sensing of the physical environment: – A key technology for the Internet of Things (IoT) – A growing marketplace: to top $38bn by 2014 – Key apps: medical, logistics, energy conservation, military Driven by technology advances. Moore’s Law predicts: – A chip of the same size doubles in power every two years – Or, the size of a chip of the same power halves every two years (i.e. our devices are getting smaller)

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) WSN Characteristics: – Large scale: 1000s of nodes over wide areas – Limited Resources: 10MHz CPU, 10K RAM, 48KB flash – Dynamism: node failure, network failure, mobility Two key questions: – How do we implement existing protocols and middleware in such as small space? – What new abstractions, tools and support do we need to build applications for this extreme environment? A rapidly evolving subject area, which requires knowledge of many subjects you have already studied

The WSN Module You will revisit key topics such as: – Networking – Operating Systems – Programming Models … applied in a new and challenging IOT context. Using these technologies you will learn to design networked embedded applications for various applications

Module 2: Perspectives on Cloud Computing Wouter Joosen, Eddy Truyen IBBT-DistriNet, KULeuven February-April

Let’s evaluate and improve this approach…. Increased decoupling: a trivial idea, yet hard to turn into reality
