The Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP), in collaboration with ITU, ISOC, RIPE NCC and ACM SIGCOMM, is organizing a two-week workshop on Open Source Solutions for the Internet of Things. The workshop will be held from 26 June to 7 July 2017 in Trieste, Italy.
This hands-on event will focus on open, low-cost, sustainable IoT solutions. The IoT technology is revolutionizing our understanding of nature by providing observations at a fine spatial-temporal resolution. The advent of IoT networks with thousands of nodes in which processing will be accomplished automatically will increase the resolution of scientific data by orders of magnitude.
One key issue with the Internet of Things is the ability to rapidly create IoT applications. This workshop will cover the many aspects that have to be taken into account when planning an IoT network: low power wireless communications, sensors and their calibration, IPv6 networks, energy efficiency and privacy issues.
The workshop will cover the following topics:
- Introduction to the Internet of Things
- Design & functioning of wireless IoT technologies
- Low Power Wide Area Networks (LPWANs)
- Introduction to IPv6
- IoT data security, privacy and trust
- Blockchain applications for IoT
- Designing & programming of the Web of Things
- Sensor technology
The deadline to apply is 10 April 2017. Female scientists are encouraged to apply.
A limited number of grants are available to support the attendance of selected participants, with priority given to participants from developing countries. There is no registration fee.
