This course will focus on technical, business and regulatory aspects of Internet of Things (IoT), Big Data and Artificial Intelligence (AI). It will cover Internet technologies for IoT, then IoT standards, architectures and interoperability, as well as IoT policies and regulations, including IoT security and privacy issues. The course will include IoT services in 4G and 5G mobile systems, including massive IoT and critical IoT use cases. The IoT generates large amounts of data that cannot be processed by traditional techniques, and such data is referred to as Big Data. In that manner, the course will include Big Data overview, Big Data ecosystem and reference architecture, Big Data technologies and use cases, as well as business and regulatory challenges for Big Data. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is targeted for processing Big Data in Internet and telecom networks. In that regard the course will cover introduction to AI in ICT/telecom world, and AI applications in Internet and telecom environments, including Machine Learning aspects for 5G mobile networks. The course will further include Big Data and AI challenges, business aspects, as well as policies and regulation. Finally, the course will cover Internet governance with regard to IoT, Big Data, and AI.

This course is targeted at managers, engineers and employees from regulators, government organizations, telecommunication companies and academia, who are interested in understanding, implementation and regulation of Internet of Things (IoT), Big Data and Artificial Intelligence (AI), including technical, business and regulatory aspects. Other institutions and individuals that are dedicated in building their capacity related to IoT, Big Data and AI, including technical, business and regulatory aspects, are also welcome to participate.

No prior knowledge or qualification is required to register for this course, considering the given target population.

At the end of the training, the participant should have gained an understanding
of the key aspects of:

• Introduction to Internet technologies and Internet of Things (IoT)
• IoT standards, architectures and interoperability
• IoT in 4G and 5G mobile networks

150 USD

This course will be delivered using instructor-led online learning. The course methodology will be as follows:

• Each day from 23 to 27 September 2024 there will be made available two recorded video lectures, which are recorded in the face-to-face ITU Centre of Excellence workshop organized by National Institute of Telecommunications in Poland. In total, there are 10 video lectures during the course.
• Discussion forum will be organized based on discussion topics given on a daily basis, where students are highly encouraged to participate and interact with instructors and other students.
• Final Quiz test will be assigned on the last day of the course, 30 September 2024.
• All announcements for all events (lectures, quiz and forum) will be given in a timely manner (prior to the event) by the course tutor.

On the last day of the course a Final Quiz test will be assigned. It will consist of 20 questions (multiple choices).

The Final Quiz will be open from 00:00 hours on Monday (30th of September 2024) according to the GMT+1 time, and will remain open for 30 hours after opening, so each participant can choose the most convenient time to solve it. However, after the start of the attempt the Quiz should be completed in 90 minutes.

The Final Quiz is passed with a grade of 70% or higher. The course evaluation for obtaining the ITU certificate is based primarily on the results from the Final Quiz, however, replies to the raised discussion topics in the course forum may also be considered in the evaluation process.

Each fully registered participant who successfully completes the course with a total grade of 70% or higher will receive an ITU Certificate for this course.
