Description

The Internet of Things (IoT) brings us a vision of a world in which trillions of devices can sense, communicate, and collaborate over the Internet, in the same way that humans interact and collaborate with one another over the World Wide Web. In this course, we explore the infinite possibilities of using IoT to build Smart Cities Applications. We begin our adventure by exploring the three key components of IoT - things, connectivity, sense-making. What sensing modalities that we can equip \"things\" with? How do we connect these \"things\" to the Internet, and to each other? What data-driven, actionable insights could we provide to bring incredible benefits to the dwellers of smart cities? Drawing inspiration from case studies such as SmartBFA , we reflect deeply and broadly on the broader challenges facing Smart Cities, in particular exploring the various ways in which we could create social impact by building inclusive Smart Cities.
