Networked Embedded Systems

Overall Course Objectives

The course will provide basic, advanced, as well as practical knowledge on the design and implementation of networked embedded systems for the Internet of Things (IoT). The course focuses on system-level building blocks for developing networked embedded systems including software-hardware interaction, sensors and actuators, intra-board communication, wired/wireless embedded networking, embedded software development, performance evaluation and testing, as well as on-device data processing and embedded machine learning.

See course description in Danish

Learning Objectives

  • describe recent concepts in the field of networked embedded systems and their role within the Internet of Things (IoT).
  • identify the different subsystems of a networked embedded system and how they interact with each other.
  • explain how networked embedded systems interact with the physical environment.
  • evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of different fundamental and advanced intra-board and inter-board communication approaches.
  • critically analyse the trade-offs among different means for wired/wireless embedded system communication.
  • critically analyse the trade-offs among different means of time synchronisation.
  • design embedded software and program networked embedded systems.
  • design, test, and evaluate networked embedded systems.
