Networked Embedded Systems

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