Course Overview

The course will address selected topics in Pervasive Computing. This semester the main focus of the lecture will be on activity recognition from sensor-data of mobile and distributed devices. In addition, other fields of Pervasive Computing are covered to provide students with a good overview on current advances and research challenges. Depending on the interest of the students, the emphasis on these additional topics may differ.

- Introduction (main focus) (basic introduction to Pervasive computing and its applications)

- Activity recognition (main focus) (Fundamentals of pattern matching, features and feature extraction, feature subset selection, polynomial curve fitting, parzen estimator, k-NN, SVM, ANN,...)


- Context prediction (extent depending on student interest) (operations for single- and multi-dimensional context data, prediction architectures, context processing operations, prediction algorithms (e.g. ARMA, Kalman filter based, approximate pattern matching, markov predictors, prediction with independent/principal component analysis, SOM, IPAM, ONISI),...)

- Security with noisy data [Context-based security] (extent depending on student interest) (Entropy, one-time-pad, random number generators, statistical tests, fuzzy commitment, fuzzy extractors, PUFs, ...)

- Networked objects (extent depending on student interest) (a generic sensor node, sensor networks, communication protocols, collaborative and cooperative operations, body sensor networks,...)

- Internet of Things (extent depending on student interest) (communication technologies, sensors, RFID, printed electronics, organic electronics, physical layer mathematical operations,...)


The purpose of this lecture is to discuss some advanced concepts in computer networking. This course is a research seminar (6 ECTS, 2 SWS), held on a weekly base and comprising the following components:

  • Weekly paper reading and discussion + Weekly Presentation
  • Final Presentation
  • Final report

The material in the seminar, drawn mainly from the research literature from top tier journal/conference, like ToN, TPDS, SIGCOMM, SIGMETRICS, IMC, WWW, CoNEXT. The seminar topics include the following:

Clean slate architectures and future internet Online Social Networking (Architecture, User Behavior, Data Collection, Data Analysis) xxx
