About this Unit
The Internet of Things (IoT) is drastically changing the way organisations operate and how individuals interact with the world. IoT is an infrastructure consisting of fairly constantly communicating objects, or things, that may be smart and process or act on data. The IoT facilitates detailed and meaningful interactions between humans, digital devices, and many other industrial and household equipment, appliances, and things. The IoT is also the enabler of smart environments, including smart homes, buildings, cities, transport, and healthcare, among many others. This unit discusses IoT technologies and applications in detail. It also introduces the students to trends, challenges, and key research topics in relevant areas.
