Tutorial: Building an IoT Empire

Tutorial: Building an IoT Empire - Michael Schloh von Bennewitz, Computer Scientist Objective In this half day course, we learn theory and practice of IoT use cases by implementing them hands on. A number of IoT hardware devices are observed, handled, and put in service. We develop firmware for embedded devices and even construct our own Bluetooth beacons. Checklist - How Bluetooth and Bluetooth Smart devices participate in the Internet of Things - How a beacon and physical web works, and how to apply proximity technology - To develop applications for embedded devices and firmware deployment workflow - To extend IoT systems with MQTT and/or AMQP based sensor and actuator embedded devices We learn the ropes of the Internet of Things by implementing IoT systems using real hardware meant for deployment in the real world. Each participant receives a set of embedded development kits and beacons to conduct guided experiments for the duration of the workshop.
