Internet of Things (IoT) refers to the networked interconnection of objects in addition to traditional networked devices. This new technology has the potential to change the world, just as the Internet did. This is indeed starting to happen, as the incessant decrease in size, cost, and energy consumption of wireless devices is boosting the number of mobile objects dramatically. The number of mobile objects comprising the IoT will be huge: in 2020, between 12 to 50 billion devices are expected to be connected with each other, a 12- to 50-fold growth from 2012.
Course Objective: In this short course, we will look at the scientific applications of IoT, with a focus on low-cost and sustainable solutions, such as for weather monitoring. IoT technology is facilitating a revolution in our understanding of nature by providing observations at a fine spatial-temporal resolution. In many areas of applied science, researchers measure easily detectable parameters and then use simple semi-empirical correlations to infer the parameter they are really interested in. These correlations are often based upon very limited data. The creation of sensors to more directly measure variables of interest is becoming increasingly critical. The advent of sensor networks with tens or hundreds of nodes in which processing will be accomplished automatically will increase the resolution of scientific data by orders of magnitude.
Applied Context: Participants will be provided with background context on other sensors being utilized for the 2018 Asian Games and Special Economic Zone Tanjun Api Api as well as Research in ICT and IOT. These sensors are all used to directly measure variables of interest. In one case, the telemetry sensors used are referred to as Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs). In another case, the telemetry sensors used are referred to as Weather Sensor Analytics on Analytics (A2O) Units. Both sensor networks are scalable to a large number of nodes in which processing will be accomplished automatically to increase the resolution of the telemetry data by orders of magnitude.
Topics Covered: IoT Architecture, Wireless Communications, Sensor Technology, Big Data Management and Visualization, Middleware Architecture, Arduino platform, and Analytics on Analytics (A2O).
Prerequisites: Basic knowledge of programming (Conditional Statements, Looping, Functions, Compilation).
Please Note: Participants are expected to bring their own laptops.
