The purpose of the course is to provide students with an overview of Internet of Things and its enabling technologies (Cloud Computing, Social Networks and Virtual Reality, Mobile, and Big Data). The course sheds light on some of the technologies, frameworks, platforms and programming models that enable users to reap the benefits of these emerging technologies.

According to the International Data Corporation (IDC), Cloud Computing, Social Networks, Mobile and Big Data are the four pillars, of the “Third Platform”; the core enabler for the Internet of Things (IoT).
