Software development for mobile and embedded systems
level of course unit
second cycle, MasterLearning outcomes of course unit
Students acquire knowledge of the design, development, testing and operation of mobile applications for smartphones, tablets and similar devices. In addition, technical systems with extended control and programming functionalities and which communicate with the help of Internet technologies are also addressed. These "Internet of Things Applications" are dis-cussed on the level of individual programming and coordination, but there is no provision for programming close to the hardware.
The students:
- can use device-specific functions of mobile or IoT application platforms programmatically (e.g. positioning by GPS, short-range radio systems such as RFID, different sensors)
- know different approaches to mobile cross-platform development and can assess their advantages and disadvantages for specific project plans
- know different network protocols for communication with IoT applications and can use them (e.g. within a mobile application)
- know the special requirements of developing, testing and publishing apps for different application platforms
