About the unit CITS5506 The Internet of Things (2nd semester 2023)
Unit description:
This unit identifies the characteristics and limitations of small hardware devices, communication, and software infrastructure and environments providing mobile and ubiquitous computing contexts. Topics include smartphone and tablet programming, key programming paradigms, user interface design for small form-factor devices, data persistence, messaging and networking, embedded sensors, location-based services, and security and privacy.
Unit outcomes:
Students are able to (1) discuss Internet of Things (IoT), its potentials, and issues with their peers and with non-specialists; (2) design, implement, and demonstrate a IoT based application using distributed small devices in a ubiquitous computing environment; and (3) use a range of current tools and techniques in the construction and deployment of software in ubiquitous computing environments for IoT applications.
