Learning outcomes

At the end of the course, the student will have knowledge of available methods, tools and technologies for the design and management of intelligent cyber-physical systems and services, especially in applications of monitoring and control of civil critical infrastructures in smart cities. Topics covered in this course include: cloud/fog/edge/IoT architectures, adaptive and intelligent systems engineering, embedded and mobile computing.

Course contents

Introduction to cyber-physical distributed systems: sensors/actuators, embedded systems, cyber-physical systems, networks, digital twins.
Elements of software engineering for complex distributed applications: requirements elicitation, design, implementation, testing and maintenance, models, methodologies, and architectures.
Technological trends and paradigms: web of Things, cloud computing, big data, edge/fog computing, artificial intelligence
Applications and projects
