The goal of this course is to introduce students into the organization, structure and internal vision of the operating systems necessary for Internet of Things systems. Students will learn the services that integrate sensor and actuator based systems and understand the influence that design decisions have on the behavior of an Internet of Things System. In order to archive this goal, the student have to acquire several generic skills, knowledge, capacities and attitudes.
General/transversal competences:
- Analysis and synthesis capacities (PO a)
- Abilities to organize and to plan (PO a)
- Problem resolution abilities (PO c)
- Capacity to apply theoretical concepts (PO a, c)
Specific competences:
- Cognitive (knowledge) (PO a)
1. Know the different types of devices and operating systems of an Internet of Things System.
