CIS 490J / 590 H: Edge Computing

The course covers the following topics: 

1) the network basics for edge computing

2) a three-layered system for the IoT world: 

• the IoT layer, which introduces different IoT devices, sensors, mobile devices, wireless sensor networks, and wireless sensing technologies. 

•  the cloud layer, which introduces cloud computing concepts and practices, including cloud resource management, resource virtualization, serverless, and so on. 

• the edge layer, which introduces the basic system models of edges. 

3) comparing and contrasting edge and cloud. 

4) edge computing systems and frameworks

5) Federated Learning 

A hands-on course project is an important part of the course and so is reading research papers. 

• One course project in Win22 won the  Honorable Mention - Originality award of the 2nd CPS-IoT Week Student Design Competition on Networked Computing On the Edge. 

• Drone-car Collaboration Survey [accepted by 2023 IEEE 26th International Conference on Intelligent Transportation Systems]

• Timebay: an Ad-Hoc Network For Student Vehicle Testing [paper][presentation]
