National Summer School on Internet of Things Begins From Tomorrow

Softwarica College is hosting the first ever Nepal National Summer School on Research methods: Sensing, Monitoring and the Internet of Things. It will be held from March 28 to March 30.

Why it matters:

The summer school aims to provide participants with a solid understanding of core research skills and IoT principles, to enable them to kick-start their research in this and related fields.

The Details:

Prof. Elena Gaura and Dr. James Brusey from Coventry University, UK would be the trainers for the event.
The first day would be about research communication skills, the second day about introduction to Internet of Things (IoT) and the final day would be hands-on training with TinyOS, an embedded operating system.
