Program

The tentative program below will be gradually updated in the coming weeks and will keep you up to date on this page.

Overall Challenge - Throughout the winter school, we will develop a cool IoT project that includes major challenges from the lectures and tutorials. We will design and build a mobile, wireless network of smart IoT devices. We will start with the hardware and implement the software stack directly after. The smart IoT devices will collect real world data that we will then analyze with data analytics tools including machine learning at the edge and in the cloud.
