CSC 8251 - Sensor Web Architecture and Protocols

4 Credit Hours
Prerequisites: CSc 4220/CSC 6220.
Description
This course surveys the emerging field of sensor web system and its applications. The course will cover a broad range of topics, including system architectures, operating systems, radio communication, networking protocols, energy management, RFID, web services and its applications (such as smart environments and smart grid). It is a research-oriented course that includes reading and discussion of papers from the scientific literature. Students will be expected to understand the algorithms and protocols in the lecture and read and present several selected research papers. The students will also gain hands-on experience with sensor web system and testbed and learn how to design practical sensor web systems.
