Abstract: Technological advances in miniaturized, ultra-low power embedded systems, in communication protocols and in data mining techniques are leading to disruptive innovations. Smart cities, eHealth or Industry 4.0 – Internet of Things (IoT) environments have already started to deeply modify established industries. Nowadays, every organization should seriously think about how to embrace the opportunities and challenges offered by smart connected technologies. This course will cover 3 main themes : Smart platforms for IoT (hardware designs, power/energy requirements), Communication for IoT (protocols, networks, latest standards) and IoT applications (examples of wearable IoT devices, practical case studies with data fusion and data mining exercises). The objective of the course are related to get a comprehensive overview of IoT terminology, concepts and latest trends, to learn about the most up-to-date developments in ultra-low power wearable systems including platform designs and management of energy needs, to understand main challenges related to communication in IoT networks (protocols, standards, wireless transmission, etc), to discover examples and case studies of application-oriented IoT designs (in medical, wellness, smart homes or Industry 4.0 applications

Bio: Prof. David Atienza Alonso was born in Spain on December 1978. He achieved his Master Degree in Computer Engineering at the Complutense University of Madrid (Spain) in 2001 and the Ph.D. degree from the Inter-University Micro- Electronics Center (IMEC), Leuven, Belgium, and Complutense Univ. of Madrid (UCM), Spain, with European Degree. Average Grade. His research interests focus on system-level design methodologies for high-performance multi-processor system-on-chip (MPSoC) and low-power embedded systems. At current he is Associate Professor at the Electrical and Computer Engineering Dept. of EPFL, Switzerland, where he leads the Embedded Systems Laboratory. Moreover he is cofounder and advisory board member of SmartCandia. Several of his activities were awarded by prestigious scientific societies. Prof. Atienza is active in many Committees of IEEE Societies and chaired many well known and established conferences on Embedded Systems, VLSI and Integrated Circuit Design, Systems on Chip, Power Timing Modeling. He is author of more than 50 papers published on Journals, 1 book and 7 chapters of books and more than 150 communications to conferences. He also achieved 7 patents. He was involved in 27 Research Projects funded by the European Community, by the Swiss Federal Republic or by industrial enterprises.
