CEC Semester Eleven 2017

This class will focus on the most advanced MCU-based Analog Front End (AFE) peripherals and how they can be sued in IoT based designs.

Sensors are another area of great diversity.  Some are very simple and have limited processing power, while others can be very powerful.  We will look at some of the technologies utilized and how they can be utilized to perform edge processing at...

While some sensors and devices can communicate independently on the Internet, many cannot.  Thus, most architectures assume aggregating nodes that handle communications back to the central repository (e.g., cloud).  In these types of nodes there...

This type of distributed system has a major effect on the algorithms used.  We will look at the algorithms used at each level and at the interaction between them.  For example, parameters for a statistical test might be evaluated in the cloud to...

This session continues the previous session by walking developers through more API and HAL design. Developers will learn more about how to write configurable code that can be easily used from one application to the next. Attendees will learn how...

Some developers may not be interested in taking the time to develop their own API’s and HAL’s but instead would rather utilize what has already been created within the industry. In this session, we will begin to examine the API’s and HAL’s...

In this session, Jacob will review important concepts related to API’s, HAL’s and provide guidance on how attendees can start designing their own. Looking at the benefits, timeline and potential costs along with strategies to get started...

In this leadoff class, we will look at the history and structure of the Internet of Things (IoT) and where the known security issues lie. We will look at a couple of examples of recent security breaches and how they could have been prevented. We...

For our second class, we will look at hardware security needs – from code protection to guarding against unauthorized board modification. We will look at many of the features that are being added to high-security microcontrollers in order to meet...

For our third class, we will delve into the security and vulnerabilities of data within the IoT. We will cover issues from the collection and reporting of incorrect or unreliable (“tainted”) data to keeping the data secure and intact as it travels...
