Big Data Platforms for Internet of Things Applications

Project Supervisor: Marin Litoiu
Required Background: ITEC2610, ITEC4020
Project Session: Fall, Winter, Summer
Project Description:

The course will explore the architectural decisions for applications in the domain of Internet of  Things(IoT). IoT refers to everyday devices such as cars, city infrastructure, environment sensors, buildings and things in the buildings, etc. that are connected to Internet and send and receive data. Applications interconnect these devices, aggregate and analyze data and either inform decision makers or send back data do devices with the purpose of controlling them or their environment.In this course we focus on the role of Big Data and Analytics in the context of sensor data. We investigate the wireless sensors, big data schema and performance evaluation of the end to end use cases. The application domains might include environment and smart homes, road traffic, cyber-physical systems(CBS). Students read relevant papers in this domain, prototype an IoT application and evaluate the end-to-end performance.
