The future of IoT? The future is IoT! A world in which all our devices are connected to each other and interact and exchange data over the internet without any human intervention. The connections extend beyond standard devices, such as desktops, laptops, smartphones and tablets, to any range of non-internet-enabled physical devices and everyday objects. These devices often need to operate in one system. So, all the IoT solutions need a well-thought-out, reliable architecture to work. The IoT architecture is about connectivity, scalability and security.

In this programme, we will discuss the whole architecture of Smart Systems. An overview is given and various components are discussed, for example Edge Computing, Hub and Artificial Intelligence (AI). There is also a Smart Systems project in cooperation with small and medium sized enterprises and research centres. During the programme, we use the components of Microsoft Azure.

At the end of the programme you:

  • have an overview of the architecture of a Smart System;
  • can apply edge computing to process sensor output and actuator input;
  • can connect an edge computer to the cloud;
  • can store data from the edge computers into cloud databases;
  • can apply Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques to the data;
  • can implement security standards in a Smart System environment;
  • can apply the architecture of a Smart System in a project;
