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 under the IT Investment Technology Fund for EU fee paying students.
Admission Requirements
This course is open to graduates who have achieved the equivalent of at least an upper second-class honors degree, or better, in computing, information technology, or a related discipline. Well qualified candidates from disciplines such as engineering, mathematics, statistics, or physics who have sufficient knowledge of computing (including the ability to program) may also be accepted.
