Cyber Physical Systems and the Internet of ThingsModule Details

Rationale
This course will be an introduction to Connection Security (systems, architectures and standards) and cover the physical aspects including physical media, interfaces and connectors, hardware architecture, distributed systems architecture and fundamental networking paradigms.

Learning outcomes
At the end of the course students will be expected to:

(i) Identify of the physical and logical control of today’s modern networking architectures as well as the connectivity characteristics for end-to end reliable data transmission.
(ii) Analyse the System Architecture of the Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), Edge connectivity (Internet of Things/ Internet of Everything) and protocols (Ntier applications, Usability Principles, Cloud Computing paradigm and related Technologies).
(iii) Analyse the existing technologies for cognitive Internet of Things (IoT) systems, Agent-based systems and Cross layering issues and Traffic based schemes and how these concepts affect the efficiency of the network resources.
(iv) Introduce state-of-the art research in the area of modern Internet Technologies regarding the Caching Techniques for Streaming Media.
(v) Introduce state-of-the art research in the area of Wireless Sensor Network, U-WSNs and Cloud-based systems and
(vi) Explain the existing technical challenges in Peer-to-Peer Content Networks and the file sharing platforms.
(vii) Research in state-of-the-art areas in data and network communication systems and web technologies.
