Intended learning outcomes

to present and explain fundamentals of sensor networks to explain MAC and routing protocols dedicated for sensor networks to explain and present mechanisms for time synchronization

Teaching methodology including the use of eLearning tools

Lecture supplemented by a dedicated lab course. Presentation of selected topics by students

Course content

Due to the advances in electronics and (wireless) communication, the development of networks of low-cost, low-power, multi-functional sensors has received increasing attention. These sensor networks are a new type of networked, embedded computing systems and are expected to become a key technology for many pervasive computing applications. This lecture covers the fundamental concepts of sensor networks, including hard- and software architectures, networking aspects, power-awareness, security and sensor fusion. The lecture is complemented by student talks on selected, application-oriented topics. In an related lab course ("Pervasive Computing Lab"), students can get hands-on experience in developing sensor network applications. !!! Please note that an additional course unit will be held on March 11, 2014 from 08am - 10am in room L4.1.01 !!!
