The student who successfully completes the course will have the ability to understand the properties and application areas of mobile and pervasive distributed systems; will be aware of the basic methodologies for designing mobile and pervasive systems; will be able to demonstrate a solid knowledge of the mainstream technologies for programming mobile and wireless sensing applications.

- During the oral exam the student must be able to demonstrate his/her knowledge of the course material and be able to discuss the reading matter thoughtfully and with propriety of expression. - The student must demonstrate the ability to put into practice and to execute, with critical awareness, the activities illustrated or carried out under the guidance of the teacher during the course.

Methods:

• Final oral exam
• Project (1/2 people per project)

The student will be able to design and implement applications based on pervasive technologies, including mobile and wearable devices.

The practical aspects concerning the design and implementation of pervasive applications will be assessed through a project.

The theoretical aspects underlying pervasive and mobile computing will be assessed through oral exam.

The student will be able to critically evaluate the most recent advancements in the area of pervasive and mobile computing.

Students will be required to read a research article concerning pervasive and mobile computing. The paper will be assigned by teachers during class hours and will be presented by students during class hours.
