Introduction |
- Surf the web for information about the Internet of Things.
- Discuss the various concepts of future communication paradigms and their relationship.
- Discuss the "enabling technologies" and whether technology is enough to foster the development of the Internet of Things.
- Discuss the potential social impact of the Internet of Things.

Platforms and Technology |
- Discuss the archictecture of a device. Which parts could be combined in a component?
- Discuss the energy requirements of a device for long-term applications, i.e., for a month, a year, five years, 10 years.
- Discuss the enabling technologies for a "battery-less" device. Which concepts can be combined?
- Discuss the requirements on operating systems. Do we need really an operating system for these class of devices?
