The Internet of Things (IoT) is becoming an inherent part of our daily life. More and more objects are given the abilities to communicate and sense their surrounding environment. In particular wearable and mobile technologies such as smartphones, activity trackers, etc., are constantly generating tremendous volume of data that needs to be processed and analyzed in real-time. Current trends in data analytics envision to process all data within the cloud. However, due to the specific characteristics of mobile devices (e.g., energy constrained, sporadic connectivity, data plan charges, etc..) and the ever increasing volume of data to be transmitted, processing all mobile data within the cloud will become infeasible once the IoT is realized.

Consequently, new technological concepts such as mobile cloud computing, edge analytics, fog computing, cyber foraging can be leveraged to enable large scale mobile data analytics efficiently.

During this seminar course, you will get an opportunity to explore the aforementioned mobile data analytics technologies with the help of pioneer and state-of-the-art research articles. The high level objectives of all seminar courses can be found here.
