IoT technology is facilitating a revolution in our understanding of nature by providing observations at a fine spatial-temporal resolution. IoT has the potential to revolutionize science and influence social, environmental and health issues.
30 participants from 25 different countries. Lecturers from Africa, Europe, North and South America, Oceania. Speakers from Academia, International Organizations, Corporations, NGOs.
To prepare for the IoT paradigm shift, scientists need to begin to evaluate new and developing technologies, establish collaborations and participate in joint efforts with experts in sensor technology, communications, information management, and networking to design and implement prototypes of IoT.
18 lecturers and 8 speakers from Europe, Africa, Asia, Oceania and America.
30 participants from 20 different countries!
Welcome to the workshop! Today we will start by introducing some Internet of Things concepts, followed by a short introduction to IPv6. In the afternoon we will start working with the nodes by installing Contiki and running the first examples.
Welcome to the second day! Today we will go wireless. We will learn how IPv6 works on IoT nodes and what are the wireless technologies used in IoT. In the afternoon we will send data wirelessly from one node to the other.
Today we will learn how to setup a Contiki simulation using Cooja and what are the typical IoT architectures. In the afternoon we will connect our IoT network to the external world.
Welcome to the fourth day! Today we will look at IoT protocols and analyze some of the IoT applications. In the afternoon we will send the data captured by the nodes to an online service that will visualize it.
Welcome to the fifth day! Today we will go from the lab to the field, by installing sensors in the Miramare Park. We will have fun!
Welcome to the second week of the activity! Today we will learn about Big Data, both from the theoretical and practical point of view.
Welcome to the second day of the second week! Today we will dive into more Big Data topics.
Welcome to day three of the second week! Today we will look at three important topics in IoT: privacy and security. We will learn about BLE and its huge potential. In the afternoon we will listen to some interesting case studies about IoT.
Welcome to fourth day of the second week! Today we will look at how Big Data can be used for Development. In the afternoon we will learn about IoT standards from ITU, IEEE and Cisco point of view.
Welcome to last day of the activity! Today we will look at IoT applications for Development. In the afternoon we will close the activity with the distribution of certificates.
