Tutor: Marcus Handte Nowadays, most devices are equipped with differnt types of networking technology and a broad spectrum of sensors. Examples include gyroscopes, accelerometers, cameras, and microphones. To provide better task support, future applications will have to use the sensors of multiple devices to determine the state of their environment in an automated fashion. This requires novel software […]

Lecturer: Dr. Marcus Handte This case study covers fundamental concepts related to the development of location-based services from a theoretical and practical perspective. During the first half of the semester, basic models, algorithms, data structures and applications are introduced in a series of lectures with associated programming exercises. During the […]
Lecturer and exercises: Prof. Rasit Eskicioglu (University Manitoba, Canada) This is a senior level course that provides an in-depth examination of design and implementation of today`s operating systems. The course is organized in three parts: lectures, labs and readings. The first part of the lectures will introduce a simple, but functional […]
Lecturer: Prof. Dr. Pedro José Marrón, Exercises: Songwei Fu This lecture describes the fundamental concepts of sensor networks and how they differ from traditional networked systems that do not take energy and resource constraints into account. During the experiments, the students will deal with real-world deployments of sensor networks and […]
Tutor: Prof. Dr. Pedro José Marrón, Contact: Eduardo Ferrera Nowadays, mobile robots are used in many applications, such as rescue missions, surveillance or people assistance. In these applications, robots usually need to operate in unknown environments, so they need to obtain information with their sensors and take intelligent decisions. In […]
Tutor: Dr. Matteo Ceriotti Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have been widely deployed in many application domains including environmental monitoring, surveillance, healthcare, automation control and more. A typical WSN consists of a set of low-powered and inexpensive embedded sensor devices with specific sensing modalities and with computation as well as communication capabilities. […]
Tutor: Dr. Matteo Ceriotti This seminar aims at familiarizing students with important research topics in Wireless Sensor Networks. The covered topics include, among others, routing, localization, sensing coverage and communication connectivity, multi-channel communication, sensor networks simulation, radio models, mobility models, sensing modalities, and camera sensor networks. Participants will have to do a […]
Tutor: Marcus Handte Fueled by the proliferation of mobile devices with built-in GPS receivers, location-based services and applications have become an important application domain. Due to the volume of the geospatial data that is required to generate detailed visualizations for larger areas, many location-based web and mobile applications are relying on […]
