With the number of connected things in the commercial and home spaces, there is a need to recognise how IoT and IoT data impacts the IT architecture. This course helps to provide a structure way and standard that leads to a structured process for gaining skills required as a practicing architect in designing and deploying scalable, highly available, and fault-tolerant IoT solutions for the enterprise. It will enhance the credibility and capability of architects and provide assurance to employers that to practice and lead enterprise scale IoT related projects and programs.

This 4-day programme is intended for solution architects, systems engineers and other IT professional who wish to develop the necessary knowledge and skills to effectively architect and design IoT solutions for real-world enterprise scale scenarios.

This course is part of the Software Systems series and Graduate Certificate in Architecting Smart Systems series offered by NUS-ISS.

Key Takeaways

At the end of the course, the participants will be able to:

  • Understand the various components that comprises the IoT lifecycle from an architectural perspective: Sense, Ingest, Process, Respond and Analyse
  • Be able to define the set of fully managed and integrated services that allow us to easily and securely connect, manage, and ingest IoT data from globally dispersed devices at a large scale, process and analyse/visualize that data in real time, and implement operational changes
  • Describe the various hardware and software technologies to support enterprise scale IoT solutions, including: sensors; processors (MCU, SOC, FPGA); pipelines and coupling; boards; networking; protocols; operating systems; software components; power; bandwidth; devices for communication such as gateways
  • Define the end-to-end architecture of a large-scale IoT solution, including: layered model; design patterns; cloud services; device integration and communication standards
  • Understand RTOS and real-world design constraints: real-time scheduling; synchronisation and communication; multithreaded design; fault-tolerant design
  • Be able to address security within their end-to-end IoT solutions
  • Determine how analytics and machine learning services can be used to enhance IoT systems.
  • Understand Data Management and Access Control and Device Management for IoT solutions
