Wednesday 9:00~11:50 (The class will in practice proceed
from
9:20 to 12:00 with only one 10-min break)
The Internet of Things (IoT) has been connecting
billions
of things or machines electronically for them to exchange many
different
types of information with one another. With all the machines in the
world
connected, lives will be transformed significantly. Many technologies
are
involved in the concept of IoT and are worthwhile investigating. This
course
is intended to provide in-depth examinations of IoT technologies so
that
students can realize how machines are connected and how information is
captured
and exchanged. The applications of the IoT concept are also covered in
the
course.
Furthermore, in view of the evolution (revolution) of Industry 4.0
(I4.0),
we also introduce the concept of Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT)
and
its related technologies, such as the Cyber Physical System (CPS).
