CS 426 - Internet of Things

Credits: 3

This course covers the applied area of Internet of Things (IoT). IoT are pervasive computing systems consisting of smart sensors embedded in physical environments with many promising applications. IoT challenge many classical approaches to computing and networking. Students will learn about key techniques in IoT through this course. A substantial part of the material will cover wireless sensor networks, embedded operating systems, and network protocols. A variety of different IoT applications will be introduced, including clinical monitoring, structural health monitoring, and industrial process automation. In this course, students will also have an opportunity to obtain hands-on experience on programming embedded devices to sense and communicate. Prerequisite: Either CS 320 Advanced Computer Architecture or CS350 Operating Systems (All prerequisites must have a grade of C- or better) Term offered varies.
