embedded systems, and smartphones) required to create new business
solutions.
- Analyse, using different frameworks, the Internet of Things:
Strategic implications, user centered design, and technical
challenges in particular related to form and function (of embedded,
pervasive, and ubiquitous systems).
- Assess different Internet of Things technologies (e.g., RFID,
sensors, embedded systems, and smartphones) and their
applications.

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. In business, Internet of Things can
create new business models, improve business processes, enhance
supply chains, and reduce costs and risks. Students will gain
advanced knowledge of key theories, models, frameworks, 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
Internet of Things involve a number of different technologies:
RFID, NFC tags, Bluetooth devices,
proximity/touch/temperature/light sensors, IPv6 network, Zigbee
etc.
