Objectives
- Possess and understand knowledge that provides a basis or opportunity to be original in the development and/or application of ideas, often in a research context. - Students are able to apply their acquired knowledge and problem-solving skills in new or unfamiliar environments within broader (or multidisciplinary) contexts related to their area of study. - Students should be able to communicate their findings and the ultimate knowledge and reasons behind them to specialist and non-specialist audiences in a clear and unambiguous manner. - That students possess the learning skills that will enable them to continue studying in a largely self-directed or autonomous manner. - Being able to develop new scientific/technological approaches in a corporate environment. - Being able to communicate conclusions in clear and precise way. - Being able to autonomously study and do research. - Being able to do team-work and manage available time. - Being able to develop computer software which solves mathematical problems using the most suitable computational environment in each case. - Being able to design and implement more or less complex algorithms to solve real-life problems. - Being able to perform mathematical modeling, as well as related computations and simulations, at technological and/or corporate engineering environments, in particular for research, development, and innovation tasks. - Being able to model, design, define the architecture of, implement, manage, operate, administer, and maintain computing applications, networks, systems, services and contents. - Being able to understand and apply advanced knowledge on numerical methods and computing to problems in science, technology, and society. - Being able to know the peculiarities of data acquisition and information management. - Acquire an innovative attitude and approach. - Ability to undertake financial management of projects computer engineering fields related to factories software development, infrastructure and computer facilities (including networks), systems, applications and services, following quality and environmental criteria. - Ability to design and develop computer systems, applications and services in embedded and pervasive systems.

Learning activities and methodology
- Theory lectures with the objective of acquiring specific competences. Slides and other material as well as reference books will be provided to students in order to complete knowledge of subjects. Moreover, standards and technology documentation concerning systems integration will also be provided. Inthis lectures, studentes will do talds about specific contents from complementary readings. - Practical cases performed working cooperatively to complement theory lectures. Among other activities students will develop a solution to integrate applications using service oriented architectures. - Academic activities guided by the teacher to solve specific problems about data and functional integration. - Individual work consisting on developing solutions to exercises posed by the teacher as well as complementary readings
