2. Pre-Requisites
It is recommended that the student (at least) be familiar with the concepts of the following areas:
- Computer Networks
- Distributed Systems
- Embedded Systems
- Microprocessor-Based Systems Design
The syllabus to be developed in this course assumes that the student knows the basic concepts of the above topics and he/she has acquired these skills: (a) either by taking the subjects directly related to these subjects in the corresponding Degree: Computer Engineering, Technical Engineering in Computer Systems or Technical Engineering in Computer Management; (b) or for the development of his/her professional activity.
3. Justification in the curriculum, relation to other subjects and to the profession
In the last years, we have seen a revolution in the way people and computer systems interact. Applications are being migrated to user-transparent platforms instead of running them on a particular PC or even on a particular server. Users can access to applications (and services) through mobile devices (such as samrtphones and tablets) that are permanently connected, offering the behaviour of a ubiquitous computing system.
In this context appears the idea of the "Internet of Things" that significantly changes the way devices relate to each other and to people.
It must be mentioned that, in the short and medium term, the development of technologies and systems that make possible the commercial implementation of these applications will be reflected in a significant demand of this kind of professionals and will open up clear business opportunities in a market segment that will be exploited.
This course is presented as a training complement at an academic and professional level that aims to provide a critical vision of the current technology for all systems related to IoT, cyber-physical systems (CPS) and their future projection. Specifically, in this course the student will acquire knowledge of the existing technology and its application in industry and home.

| Practicum and practical activities reports assessment | 20.00% | 20.00% | Non-compulsory activity that can be retaken. To be carried out during the theory/lab sessions. (LAB) |
| Assessment of problem solving and/or case studies | 25.00% | 25.00% | Theoretical and/or practical work, reports and/or problem solving and cases. (EVA). Compulsory activity that can be retaken. |
| Final test | 30.00% | 30.00% | Theoretical and/or practical work, reports and/or resolution of problems and cases. (EVA). Compulsory activity that can be retaken. |
| Self Evaluation and Co-evaluation | 15.00% | 15.00% | Self-evaluation test. Compulsory activity that can be retaken. (EST) |
| Total: | 100.00% | 100.00% |
According to art. 4 of the UCLM Student Evaluation Regulations, it must be provided to students who cannot regularly attend face-to-face training activities the passing of the subject, having the right (art. 12.2) to be globally graded, in 2 annual calls per subject , an ordinary and an extraordinary one (evaluating 100% of the competences).
Evaluation criteria for the final exam:
-
Continuous assessment:In compulsory activities, a minimum mark of 40% is required in order to pass that activity and have the possibility to therefore pass the entire subject. The evaluation of the activities will be global and therefore must be quantified by means of a single mark. In the case of the activities that may be retaken (i.e., rescheduling), an alternative activity or test will be offered in the resit/retake exam call (convocatoria extraordinaria).
The final exam will be common for all the theory/laboratory groups of the subject and will be evaluated by the lecturers of the subject in a serial way, i.e., each part of the final exam will be evaluated by the same lecturer for all the students.
A student is considered to pass the subject if she/he obtains a minimum of 50 points out of 100, taking into account the points obtained in all the evaluable activities, and also has passed all the compulsory activities.
For students who do not pass the subject in the final exam call (convocatoria ordinaria), the marks of activities already passed will be conserved for the resit/retake examcall (convocatoria extraordinaria). If an activity is not recoverable, its assessment will be preserved for the resit/retake exam call (convocatoria extraordinaria) even if it has not been passed. In the case of the passed recoverable activities, the student will have the opportunity to receive an alternative evaluation of those activities in the resit/retake exam call and, in that case, the final grade of the activity will correspond to the latter grade obtained.
The mark of the passed activities in any call, except for the final exam, will be conserved for the subsequent academic year at the request of the student, provided that mark is equal or greater than 50% and that the activities and evaluation criteria of the subject remain unchanged prior to the beginning of that academic year.
The failure of a student to attend the final exam will automatically result in her/him receiving a "Failure to attend" (no presentado). If the student has not passed any compulsory evaluation activity, the maximum final grade will be 40%. -
Non-continuous evaluation:Students may apply at the beginning of the semester for the non-continuous assessment mode. In the same way, the student may change to the non-continuous evaluation mode as long as she/he has not participated during the teaching period in evaluable activities that together account for at least 50% of the total mark of the subject. If a student has reached this 50% of the total obtainable mark or the teaching period is over, she/he will be considered in continuous assessment without the possibility of changing to non-continuous evaluation mode.
Students who take the non-continuous evaluation mode will be globally graded, in 2 annual calls per subject, an ordinary and an extraordinary one (evaluating 100% of the competences), through the assessment systems indicated in the column "Non-continuous evaluation".
In the "non-continuous evaluation" mode, it is not compulsory to keep the mark obtained by the student in the activities or tests (progress test or partial test) taken in the continuous assessment mode.
Specifications for the resit/retake exam:
Evaluation tests or activities will be conducted for all recoverable activities.
Specifications for the second resit / retake exam:
Same characteristics as the resit/retake exam call.
