The Internet of Things course aims to offer a complete vision on how to design and develop smart objects and smart services based on hardware and software technologies enabling the Internet of Things. Particular attention will be paid to the creation and testing of the so-called smart environments.

The Web of Things approach will be adopted which allows a total abstraction from the main physical technologies adopted in modern networks. The extended WoT protocol stack, composed of four layers, will be discussed, details on emerging enabling technologies such as RFID, embedded systems, WSN and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) will be provided. The REST architectural style and protocols such as CoAP and MQTT will be described. Several practical use cases focused on building smart environments will be discussed.

Teaching methodology adopted in the Internet of Things course is based both on theoretical discussion on emerging technologies enabling the IoT and practical discussion of use cases about the design and developing of smart environments. Furthermore, several external seminars focused on specific topics of the IoT will be organized involving important industrial companies. 

Discussion of a practical project or a research topic in the IoT field and oral exam on all topics analyzed in the course. 

All didactic materials (slides, scientific papers, etc..) are available in two repositories: Google Drive (https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/0ABxf0yPcEXECUk9PVA)  and FormazioneOnline (https://formazioneonline.unisalento.it/course/view.php?id=643).
