Minor Technological Challenges in the IoT Domain

This course mixes different topics of Electronics and Computer Science related to the development of the Internet-of-Things with both technical and societal viewpoints:

• Distributed infrastructures for connected objects
• Security and privacy for IoT
• Introduction to data valorization
• Hands-on experience with low-code deployment of a secure IoT application 

The course introduces IoT concepts and discusses the high-level frameworks used to design connected objects and their infrastructures. Security and privacy issues raised by IoT systems are then introduced together with approaches to address those issues and their exploitation. The course finally covers basic high-level solutions to exploit all the data produced by large infrastructures of connected objects. 
Students will be evaluated based both on a quizz about lectures and labs and on a project running throughout the course. The project will consist in developing a small prototype of an IoT system encompassing sensors and cloud-based backends and including a dashboard-based human-machine interface. The project will be implemented using a low code approach, accessible even to students without a programming background, making it possible to quickly code prototypes and that will be thoroughly introduced through labs.
