The Internet of Things, or IoT, refers to the billions of physical devices around the world that are now connected to the internet, collecting and sharing data. Predictions are made that the number of such devices would reach to 25 billion by this decade and majority of the services would be available through IoT. Naturally, development and maintenance of such IoT based products and services would require sufficient workforce equipped with knowledge of IoT technologies, more so in countries like India where the IoT boom is yet to pick up. With an aim to develop workforce in IoT, this course introduces to students, researchers and academicians the basic concepts of IoT through a practical view with emphasis on design, requirement, data interfacing and capabilities. The course would cover IoT fundamentals, blended with industrial case studies, design and development of IoT systems, cloud computing, and data analysis. Lab sessions will supplement the lectures.
