Objectives and competences

To introduce to students importance of ubiquitous systems, technological infrastructure and typical case studies.

Content (Syllabus outline)

• Introduction: computer networks and connectivity, ambiental intelligence, »Everyware«. • Context aware systems: embedded computers, cyber-physical systems, localisation, identification, ad-hoc networks. • Technological basics: wireless communications, positioning systems (GPS, Galileo,..), radio frequency identification (RFID), dedicated equipment, voice and optical recognition. • Development of ubiquitous applications. • Cloud computing for ubiquitous systems. • Edge computing and Fog computing • Human computer interaction (HCI) for ubiquitous systems. • High-performance computing and the use of artificial intelligence for ubiquitous applications. • User experience design. • Selected topics from ubiquitous systems (introduction to the seminar – following the development): intelligent home, healthcare, wearable systems, electronic guides, non- technical aspects, case studies.

Learning and teaching methods

lectures, lab work, project.

Intended learning outcomes - knowledge and understanding

On completion of this course the student will be able to • explain the meaning and uses of ubiquitous applications, • choose appropriate technology related to the construction of ubiquitous solutions, • analyze the problem, conceive and build a ubiquitous application.

Intended learning outcomes - transferable/key skills and other attributes

• Communication skills: project presentation, • Use of information technology: project work, • Organisation skills: preparations for the project, • Problem solving: implementation of the project, • Working in a group: collaboration in joint projects.
