Learning objectives
The course focuses on complex IoT systems that present the interaction of embedded components with cloud components through a communication network. The course aims to describe the techniques for the automatic design of such systems, also present in the industrial field, starting from their specification to go through verification, automatic synthesis and testing. The main languages for dealing with this type of project and the most advanced automatic tools for their manipulation are also presented. At the end of the course the students will have to demonstrate that they have the following ability to apply the acquired knowledge: to identify, starting from the specifications, the best architecture for a complex IoT system; model, design and verify complex analog / digital components; develop embedded software and interact with IoT and cloud architectures; partition a functionality between HW and SW with attention to network architecture and operating systems; build a project report highlighting the critical aspects resolved; to be able to use additional languages for the design of IoT systems starting from those studied in the course.

Didactic methods
Each frontal theory lesson is exemplified with laboratory activities. Both are supported by material on the elearning site which also contains recordings of all lessons.
Learning assessment procedures
---------------------------------
Embedded and IoT Systems
---------------------------------
The exam is composed of two parts: theory and laboratory report.
---------------------------------
IoT Systems
---------------------------------
Oral exam in front of the computer with questions on theory and laboratory
Optional development of a project
- individual or in-group
- for those who have already passed the oral exam, obtaining a grade greater than or equal to 25
- effort: 40 hours of work
- to be closed by the end of September
- possible synergies, on request, with other courses, internships, theses
- max score: 3
Evaluation criteria
To pass the exam, the students must show:
- they have understood the principles of embedded and IoT system architectures;
- they are able to model and simulate a complex embedded and IoT system;
- they are able to develop embedded software interacting with network and operating system;
- they are able to apply the acquired knowledge to solve application scenarios in the context of IoT.
Criteria for the composition of the final grade
---------------------------------
Embedded and IoT Systems
---------------------------------
The final exam consists of a written test containing questions and exercises. The student must also provide a report of all laboratory activities to complete the exam. The final grade is the sum of the theory exam and the evaluation of the laboratory report.
---------------------------------
IoT Systems
---------------------------------
Oral exam in front of the computer with questions on theory and laboratory: score from 18 to 30.
Optional development of a project:
- individual or in-group
- for those who have already passed the oral exam, obtaining a grade greater than or equal to 25
- effort: 40 hours of work
- to be closed by the end of September
- possible synergies, on request, with other courses, internships, theses
- a maximum of 3 points will be added to the oral exam score.
