In the Internet of Things (IoT) everyday objects become capable of communicating data and responding to commands via the Internet. The goal of this course is to provide an introduction to various aspects of the IoT. The lectures will follow a seminar style structure, including reading, discussing and presenting both the basics and the most recent papers about trends relevant to IoT topics, such as hardware/software technologies, communication infrastructure, middleware requirements, and the issues such as big data, security/privacy, the use-cases/applications and economical/ethical implications of IoT.

Note: This schedule is subject to change.
