Dear UDOOers,

we’re proud to announce that we’ll be Hardware Sponsors of this year’s Internet of Things and Smart Cities Ph.D. School, a prestigious five days event to be held from september 8th to 13th in Lerici, La Spezia.
As you may know, IoT is steady growing field of application which is attracting a increasing number of Companies and engineers. Needless to say, UDOO concept was heavily inspired by Internet of Things paradigm, making it one of the most complete platform to use in such environment.
This event will be a major opportunity for students and researchers to understand and cover IoT related topics, quoting:

The aim of the Ph.D. School is to address researchers to the forefront of research activity on Internet of Things & Smart Cities, by presenting state-of-the-art research together with the current and future challenges in building Smart Cities in an efficient and sustainable way, in order to provide a thorough overview of the main topics about IoT and Smart Cities and their envisioned integration. International speakers from academia and industry will give lectures tailoring their research field for an interdisciplinary audience. This year’s edition will focus on three keywords each tailoring a dedicated day in the technical program of the school.

CONNECT > “Connecting smart objects”: provide an extensive overview of low-power communication technologies, with performance comparison which can be used to make choices for different application scenarios.
COLLECT > “Creating and transmitting data”: analyze different communication paradigms (REST, Publish/Subscribe, etc…) application-layer protocols targeting IoT, such as CoAP, MQTT, and other options.
CONSUME > “Understanding and working with data”: provide theoretical and practical concepts for storing, fetching, and analyzing data collected by IoT applications, with focus on Big Data analysis and Cloud for IoT.

The event will also include “hands-on” sessions that students will attend in order to develop individual/group projects, developing on several UDOOs what they learned and to actually build their own UDOO based IoT applications.

Along with UDOO there will be prestigious partners and lecturers from several universities and part of the World.  Here you can find out the complete event program . For any Further information you can refer to:
