Module General Description:
The main purpose of the module is to introduce students to the area of Pervasive Computing as a cutting-edge area of Informatics that provides a set of documented principles, methodologies and techniques, which can be used to develop pervasive computing systems having the capability to sense conditions of their environment and adapt transparently to those conditions. Students will first be trained in the basic principles and concepts of Pervasive Computing Systems, so as to be able to before moving on to study key topics and application areas of such systems. Two very important enabling technologies for Pervasive Computing are Distributed Systems and Wireless Networking, to which much of the student study load is devoted. In addition to imparting knowledge and acquiring skills, the module aims to provide students with a positive attitude regarding the ability to constantly monitor technological developments so that they stay up-to-date with the relevant cutting-edge technologies, which they will be able to theoretically understand as well as apply in systems development.
Learning Outcomes:
On successful completion of the study of this module, students will be able to:
Subjects covered:
Prerequisites: There are no prerequisite courses.
Evaluation: Students are assigned to submit five (5) written assignments during the academic year. The average grade of the five (5) written assignments, weighted at 40%, is taken into consideration for the calculation of the final grade. The grade of written assignments is activated only with a score equal to or above the pass level (≥5) in the final or resit exams.
The grade of the final or the resit exams shall be weighted at 60 % for the calculation of the final grade.

Module General Description:
Pervasive and Mobile Computing (PMC) systems are already widespread and are set to significantly influence the future of computing technology. These are systems that enable access and use of information and services by anyone, anywhere, anytime, in the most appropriate way at any time, depending on the circumstances, significantly enhancing human activities and dramatically modifying every aspect of our daily lives. The goals of SDY51 include the presentation of pervasive and global computing systems, the design issues that exist overall, the technologies and architectures that have been proposed, the infrastructures that are required, and the systems that have been developed. By studying the educational material of SDY51, students obtain significant theoretical and practical benefits.
In addition to imparting knowledge and acquiring skills, SDY51 aims at the adoption by students of a positive attitude regarding the ability to continuously monitor technological developments so that they remain up-to-date on the prevailing cutting-edge technologies, which they will be able to theoretically understand and apply to system development.
Finally, through the preparation of group work in the form of a project and the writing of a tentative scientific publication, students acquire an important set of 21st century skills and become able to work individually or join groups, manage their time and organize tasks achieving optimal performance.
