Resumen de la ponencia
Learning the Internet of Things (IoT) involves the acquisition of transversal skills that range from development based on IoT devices and sensors (edge computing) to connecting the devices themselves to management environments that allow storage and processing (cloud computing) of the data generated by the sensors. The typical development cycle of IoT applications can be divided into three stages: description of the devices and the basic interaction with the sensors; use of communication models from the “edge” to cloud management middleware; development and analysis of information processing and presentation models. To facilitate learning, it is necessary to have a flexible infrastructure that allows the development of practical activities associated with the stages. LoT@UNED (Labs of Things at UNED) provides this infrastructure and has been developed as a Web platform that allows instructors to define activity templates using resources from the three stages (devices, communications and cloud). The fundamentals and characteristics of this infrastructure will be presented, and how the different phases of the complete solution development cycle are implemented in IoT environments using LoT@UNED, and how remote experimentation can be carried out with a collaborative WoT learning environment in the cloud. , including the possibility of analyzing the data generated by IoT sensors.
Bio
Rafael Pastor is a University Professor at the UNED. He has held the position of Director of Technological Innovation at UNED (responsible for the development of the aLF learning platform and technological innovation processes) for five years (2004-2009) and also Director of the Center for Innovation and Technological Development at UNED in the period 2009-2011, as responsible for the management of the virtual campus of the UNED and the development of the learning platform aLF. He is currently Director of the ETSI of Computing. He has directed and participated in several teaching innovation projects, summer courses and permanent training. Throughout his scientific career as a researcher, he has participated in more than 17 R&D projects financed in public calls (regional, national and international), some of them with special relevance with international Companies and/or Administrations. On the other hand, he has participated as a speaker and active member in about 100 international / national conferences, and indexed in impact lists such as CORE (ERA), DBLP and IEEE Explorer. His research experience is also reflected in 30 publications in international journals, twenty of them with a JCR / SJR impact factor, with 15 of them indexed in the Journal Citation Report (JCR). In addition, I have participated as a member in several international scientific societies, such as the IEEE (Education Society), where he is a Senior Member.
