Description

In the last decade the Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm has slowly 
but steadily and increasingly permeated what researchers and engineers 
study and build. However, a "Killer" IoT application is still missing 
so far. The "IoT-360" Summer School will demonstrate what it takes 
to deliver an IoT-based product from scratch. To do so, the School 
will be divided into two strongly coupled parts.

The first part starts well before the School: the intended participants 
are encouraged to submit their IoT project ideas, i.e. what they would 
like to start implementing and receive support for during the School. 
The best innovative ideas will be selected through a vote-based system 
open for votes to EAI community members. The second part of the School 
will consist of lectures and tutorials as well as a hands-on session 
where School participant teams will be formed to work on selected projects.

The lectures will first survey the IoT "pillar" technologies providing 
a future outlook and will then be focused on IoT development, i.e. IoT 
apps, open platforms, hardware, software/middleware. The last day of 
the School will offer an excellent opportunity to "play with things" 
by taking part in a "IoT Hands-on" session. During this session all 
the school participants grouped in teams will implement features of 
the selected projects relying on knowledge gained during the School 
and on IoT hardware / software that will be made available. Finally, 
for the attendees, there will be a chance to "pitch and sell" their 
projects developed during the "IoT hands-on" session.
