Course Description:
Mobile and ubiquitous computing technologies allow interconnected computers to be embedded unobtrusively in everyday appliances and environments and to co-operate to provide information and services on behalf of their human users. This emerging field is likely to drive the deployment of the next generation of Information Technology and has been an active research area at Trinity College Dublin in recent years. The Mobile and Ubiquitous Computing programme provides a comprehensive grounding in advanced distributed systems engineering together with an in-depth understanding of the technologies and development strategies used in building mobile and ubiquitous computing systems. Specific topics to be covered usually include:
- Data communications and wireless networking technologies
- Middleware
- Software engineering and applications development
- Real-time and embedded systems
- Sensors and vision
- Context awareness and machine learning
- Information architecture
- Product and environmental design
- Image processing and synthesis
This course has been co-funded funded under the IT Investment Technology Fund in 2009/2010 for EU fee paying students. In 2009/2010 the fee for EU fee paying students will be €2,000
