AIMS AND CONTENT

LEARNING OUTCOMES

Design and development of application software for pervasive and dedicated systems. The main topics covered are: Internet, Internet of Things and Embedded Systems; Architectures of Embedded Systems: the Agent Approach; Design Flow and Software Engineering Principles; UML as a project specification  language; Project Management Principles (project life cycle, project triangle, GANTT, Pert, Resource Management).

AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES

The objective of the Course is to enable the learner to design and develop application software for pervasive and dedicated systems. The learning objectives are also pursued with computer lab activities in the classroom (or through a virtual classroom) on devices for embedded systems.

TEACHING METHODS

The course has two distinct categories of activities:

• Theoretical Lecture (Lecture - Lecture): a teaching activity in which the student is mainly "passive," i.e., attends a theoretical or practical-application lecture in the classroom, or through the tools provided by the teaching portal.
• Practical Lesson (Hands-on experience - Study session): component of "assisted teaching" in which the student is predominantly "active," i.e., performs in first person, guided activities in the laboratory.

Hands-on classes will be conducted in the laboratory, at the La Spezia campus, using the open source hardware/software platform Arduino Uno (https://www.arduino.cc/), or through software simulators. All information will be made available through the Notice Board of this teaching on AulaWeb.

EXAMS

EXAM DESCRIPTION

In order to assess the achievement of the intended learning objectives, the student will be asked to build a prototype of an embedded system based on the open source Arduino Uno platform, or its simulator, accompanied by documentation, as discussed during the course of the lectures. 

ASSESSMENT METHODS

The examination will consist of the presentation and discussion of the assigned embedded system prototype.

FURTHER INFORMATION

Students with disabilities or learning disorders are allowed to use specific modalities and supports that will be determined on a case-by-case basis in agreement with the Delegate of the Engineering courses in the Committee for the Inclusion of Students with Disabilities, prof. Francesco Curatelli. Students are invited to contact the teacher and copy the Delegate (francesco.curatelli@unige.it).
