Georgia Tech will host the first Internet-of-Things (IoT) summer school in summer 2018 to study all aspects of IoT systems, ranging from devices to algorithms and data science.  IoT technology is in use in domains ranging from manufacturing to medicine and new applications are rapidly emerging.  IoT systems rely on a range of technological advances: low-power VLSI devices, wireless ad hoc networking, data analytics.

The intended audience of the summer school is Ph.D. students and young professionals from both industry and academia. The summer school is designed to introduce young scholars and professionals to challenges in IoT research and to build a community of researchers.  The summer school will include talks by experts from numerous institutions, presentations by attendees, and both formal and informal discussions.
