  • Level: Elective course for Master degree in Informatics and Business Informatics and PhD students

Course Description

The objective of this course is to introduce new concepts and techniques for developing and engineering advanced services in emerging distributed computing systems including IoT (Internet of Things), cloud services, and human-based services. In this course, we will introduce concepts of data-as-a-service, data concerns, data market places and techniques for developing data intensive services by utlizing data services with compute services in cloud environments. We will focus on advanced services to analyze IoT data, e.g., for reactive monitoring and predictive maintenance. Furthermore, we will investigate human-based services in engineering advanced data analytics and how to combine them with data and compute services. The course will provide hand-on experiences via real-world exercises and mini programming projects. The course will provide a great interaction between students and the instructor.


Syllabus

News

This year the course receives support from Google Cloud Platform Education Grant for running experiments atop Google Cloud!

As the IoT integration is quite mature w.r.t. the technologies and platforms for integrating IoT devices, we will focus less on IoT integration and more on making sense of IoT data for offering advanced services.

Assignments and Projects

Assignments and project reports must be submitted to TUWEL.

Assignment 1

Develop your scenario. See the template is here.

Assignment 2

Design application-specific services and platform services. See the description here

Assignment 3

Assignment 4

Proposing and designing a mini project

Mini project

Concrete topics are based on the proposal and design presented in the 4th assignment.

you will (i) create an open source mini project using public git (such as github, bitbucket, or gitlab), (ii) develop the project, (iii)document the project with README file or HTML, (iv) Submit a presentation to TUWEL and make the code public, (v) finally you make a presentation/demo your project.

The prototpyes of the mini projects will be posted in Github
