Purpose

The Postgraduate Course in "IoT Manager" is part of the Innovation & Sustainability (I&S) Project, promoted by the Campus Bio-Medico University of Rome in partnership with Marzotto Venture Accelerator.

Educational objectives

The course is focused on the acquisition of advanced technical knowledge and skills for the coordination of development, management and evolution processes of IoT architectures and systems.

In particular, the development, management and security systems of IoT devices and platforms, the techniques and technologies of generation, processing and data management in IoT systems and the development and optimization for embedded systems and for Industrial IoT and Industry 4.0 will be studied.

The path combines technical-specialist skills with the learning of transversal and behavioral skills (soft skills) of Leadership & Teamwork crucial for the figure of the IoT Manager.

Course structure

The course is structured in 6 modules, each lasting 2 days.

The teaching structure of the course is given below:

MODULE DESCRIPTION ECTS
ARCHITECTURES AND PLATFORMS FOR IOT SYSTEMS The module presents the main architectures for the management, configuration and control of IoT systems. The application of these architectures and the respective communication models is addressed in the context of different application scenarios and enhancing the exploitable trade-offs. The module is enriched by the discussion of case studies related to the different models presented. 2
COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGIES FOR IOT SYSTEMS AND APPLICATIONS The module presents the main communication architectures and protocols that can be used in the context of IoT applications, from local connection of devices to protocols for low energy consumption remote collection. Each architecture and technology is presented in the context of the application trade-offs it allows to solve and by referring to concrete scenarios and usage case studies. 2
MANAGEMENT AND SECURITY OF ARCHITECTURES AND IOT SYSTEMS The module deals with the problem of information security related to IoT systems, describing the main vulnerabilities that these systems can present globally and the main methods of prevention and containment from attacks, going as far as the most innovative approaches currently available. 2
APPLICATION SCENARIOS FOR THE IOT The module provides analysis and solution skills in the IoT application contexts (smart cities, smart building, smart mobility, smart agriculture and smart manufacturing). Through the analysis of case studies in the design and implementation of IoT architectures, students will be able to experience the best smartization solutions in practice in different application environments. 2
INDUSTRIAL IOT AND INDUSTRY 4.0 The module addresses the problem of designing and characterizing industrial IoT applications. In particular, the problem of requirements in the industrial field and the main solutions that make it possible to satisfy them are addressed. The module also addresses the problem of purely industrial communication standards and the new standards created to facilitate integration with IoT systems. Case studies and the solutions adopted in them are discussed in the module. 2
MCL (MANAGER, COACH, LEADER) SOFT SKILLS LAB The module will allow the learner to acquire skills regarding:

- Energy management and stress management in times of uncertainty.
- The ingredients of the dream team: from a group of individuals to a team.
