2. Pre-Requisites
There are no prerequisites for this subject within the Master's degree curriculum. However, it is recommended that the student feel familiar with the concepts of the following areas:
- Embedded Systems
- Distributed systems
- Computer networks
The syllabus to be developed in this subject assumes that the student feels comfortable with the terminology and subject matter listed above. It is assumed that said student has acquired said skills: (a) either by having taken the subjects directly related to said subjects in the study plans corresponding to the Degree in Computer Engineering; (b) or by the development of their professional activity.
3. Justification in the curriculum, relation to other subjects and to the profession
In recent years we are witnessing a revolution in the way in which computer systems interact not only with people, but with the real world in general. Advances such as the miniaturization of components, wireless communication technologies, or the manufacture of increasingly sophisticated and affordable sensors / actuators, have made it possible for applications to escape from the desktop. Today, the use of embedded systems and devices (smartphones, tablets, etc.) is widespread to control and interact with all kinds of physical systems in our environment.
A market is developing around this way of conceiving modern computer systems that, according to all projections, will see its importance and weight increase in the ICT industry. Therefore, a growing demand for professionals with specific training is expected, who are capable of managing and applying new technologies in the company, opening the doors to new business opportunities.
In this context, the CPS (Cyber-Physical Systems) subject is presented as a training complement at an academic and professional level that aims to provide the skills demanded by the industry in the field of ubiquitous embedded systems, currently called cyber-physical systems.

8. Evaluation criteria and Grading System
| Evaluation System | Continuous assessment | Non-continuous evaluation * | Description |
| Assessment of problem solving and/or case studies | 40.00% | 40.00% | Resolution and delivery of various works and problems raised throughout the course. Master's Memory Keys: ESC |
| Practicum and practical activities reports assessment | 30.00% | 30.00% | A global project will be carried out throughout the course, of which a descriptive report will be delivered and evaluated. Master's Memory Code: INF Keys Master's Report: LAB |
| Assessment of activities done in the computer labs | 20.00% | 20.00% | Supervision of the activities carried out by the student in the computer laboratory. |
| Oral presentations assessment | 10.00% | 10.00% | The global project will also be presented by oral presentation. Master's Report Code: PRES |
| 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 the development of the subject we will use software applications that allow students to download them at home (either because they are free or because the corporate license maintained by the University admits it). We will also use the collaborative tele-teaching tools provided by the UCLM in problem solving, oral presentations, tutorials and evaluation tests. Consequently, the students' evaluations do not differ according to their face-to-face or blended modality.
If a student has carried out 50% of assessable activities in continuous mode, she will not be able to change to non-continuous mode. -
Non-continuous evaluation:In non-continuous evaluation, the evaluation system consists of the same tests in the same format. The student can keep the grade obtained previously or attend certain activities again. In case of doing so, the resulting grade will be the last one obtained.
Specifications for the resit/retake exam:
The evaluation system consists of the same tests in the same format. The student can keep the grade obtained previously or attend certain activities again. In case of doing so, the resulting grade will be the last one obtained.
Specifications for the second resit / retake exam:
The evaluation system consists of the same tests in the same format. In this case, the student cannot keep any marks previously obtained.
