CLASS AIMS:
This class offers an overview of issues related to systems and services on wireless networks with a specific emphasis on their use to support popular and/or innovative mobile applications. To this aim, we analyze the main problems and protocol solutions available in this context, also discussing the terminology and visionary scenarios. Through the analysis of services that can be offered over wireless technology, the student will become aware of the future possible evolution of our pervasively hyperconnected world. Aiming at a practical approach, class includes the development of a project or as survey.
