| Learning objectives |
After completing the course, the
students should be able to:
- Identify the main components composing the Internet of
Things
- Describe the concept of the Internet of Things in terms of
models
- Explain how tools and technologies (e.g., RFID/NFC, sensors,
embedded systems, and smartphones) are used to create new Internet
of Things solutions
- Reflect using different frameworks for the use of the Internet
of Things
- Analyze, design or develop parts of an Internet of Things
solution and map it toward selected business model(s)
- Assess different Internet of Things technologies (e.g., RFID,
sensors, embedded systems, and smartphones) and their
applications.
- Critically evaluate ethical and potential security issues
related to the Internet of Things

Main aim of the course
The basic idea of the Internet of Things (and Big Data) is that
virtually every physical thing in this world can also become a
computer that is connected to the Internet. When they do so, they
are often called smart things, because they can act smarter than
things that have not been tagged. In business, Internet of things
can create new business models, improve business processes, and
reduce costs and risks. Students will gain advanced knowledge of
key theories and concepts of the Internet of Things. They will
acquire specialised problem-solving skills, being able to analyse
and design new business solutions based on Internet of Things
technology. They shall take responsibility to conduct design and
implementation of new business solutions, and evaluate the business
value.
Technology, tools, and platforms
A number of different technologies and tools may be offered in
continuation of this course to support diverse student projects.
Technologies offered can include tablets, RFID tags, Bluetooth
devices, proximity/touch/temperature/light sensors, IPv6 network,
Zigbee etc.
Tools which support the design process in an Internet of Things
setting include flexible design frameworks.
