CIS 284 — Interoperability for Smart Systems
/3contact hours Internet protocol systems (Internet of Things (IoT)) connect our world and our smart devices like never before. These smart devices are adept in transferring data over a network or between machines without requiring human–to–computer or computer–to–computer interaction. Understanding the vast scope for IoT devices is crucial because these devices have become so engrained into our daily home, work and personal spaces and transcends to health and elderly care, transportation, communication systems, and automation. This course delves into the concepts of IoT smart systems to understand how they work and link to us. A thorough examination on ethical and theoretic principles of IoT privacy and security are also discussed, to better understand why these devices are so vitally important to us, and to give students a deeper understanding of IoT usage. Other topics discussed throughout the course include IoT in production and energy management, as well as the challenges faced with using smart technologies.
