The course intends to provide students with methodology, modeling, design, and implementation expertise related to the development, deployment, and runtime evaluation of mobile systems, services, and of middleware supports for the effective management of those services at provisioning time
The course is included in the second cycle degree programme (LM) in Computer Engineering (cod. 5826).

The course aims at providing students with the skills to effectively develop and dynamically manage the runtime provisioning of mobile services. This requires acquiring expertise and theoretical skills, as well as design/implementation abilities, related to models and solutions for mobile systems, for mobile services provided on top of them, and for support systems (middleware) needed for their effective runtime execution.
This course provides frontal lectures to cover an introduction to a broad variety of mobile technologies, platforms and frameworks, for a wide and heterogeneous set of mobile devices, involved in the mobile communications . The course covers a range of topics, including propagation and fading models, IEEE 802.11, IEEE 802.16, IEEE 802.20, IEEE 802.11 for municipal meshes, Wi-Fi Direct, cellular networks and handoff, Bluetooth, ZigBee, Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET), Mobile IP, positioning systems, development platforms and operating systems (Android and IOS) for mobile systems, mobile middleware, Internet of Things (IoT) platforms, discovery services, session management in converged 4G networks, messaging support in mobile systems, event management and pub/sub model, data synchronization in mobile systems, and edge/fog computing.
The course also includes practical lab exercises that enable students to apply their knowledge and skills to real-world scenarios. The lab activities are designed to guide students through simplified projects, which they can solve autonomously. The course website provides access to the texts and solutions for the proposed exercises. The course is suitable for students who wish to develop their understanding of wireless communication systems and their practical applications, and to gain hands-on experience in solving problems related to mobile systems.
All the lectures material and files (slides, exercises and solutions, suggested additional exercises, examples, project proposals, ...) are available at the course Web site:
