Course overview
This module introduces students to application layer communication protocols, Cloud services and their role in modern Internet of things ecosystem.
This module is a part of the optional Internet of things module group, building on Embedded Platforms and Operating Systems, Sensors and Actuators and Wireless Computer Networks 2 modules in the same module group.
Students who take this module group will gain knowledge and skills in software engineering for Internet of things, contributing significantly to students’ development as professionals in that field.
Students will learn:
• About modern IoT distributed architectures built around REST or gRPC APIs.
• About different Cloud options for backend services.
• About common application layer communication protocols.
• How to connect embedded devices to backend services with application layer communication protocols.
• How to apply and extend knowledge and skills acquired in previous modules in the same module group.
The module contains a full-stack development. On the selected embedded platform, it is taught in C++ programming language. On the Cloud side, it is taught with Microsoft Azure and Oracle Cloud services. The module assessment is based on solving a series of smaller practical tasks and on individual student projects. In these projects, students must create full-stack IoT solution to the given specifications.
