About this minor

Summary

Learning Outcomes

  • Technical understanding about the issues underlying the lifecycle of Internet of Things systems
  • Basic knowledge and hands-on experience about technical solutions for the design, development, and operations of Internet of Things systems 

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 first introduces IoT concepts and then 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. Environmental issues (power consumption, DAS, etc.) are discussed along the course in addition to these topics.
Students will be evaluated 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 implemented using a low code approach and involving a significant effort of documentation and synthesis.
