Overview
The Summer School provides theoretical and practical lessons about recent advances in enabling technologies for electronics, future wireless networks and wireless sensor networks, edge AI, cloud computing & HPC, digital twin, in scenarios such as IoT, Industry 4.0, Cyber-PhysicalSystems (CPS), autonomous vehicles, aerospace.
Particular focus will be on Digital technologies for AutoMotive and Industry 4.0.
Wireless circuits and systems and internet technology are becoming pervasive in many applications fields such as Industry4.0, vehicle industry (e.g. connected cars, advanced driver assistance systems, V2V and V2I wireless communications, radar, lidar), automation in industrial or domotic scenarios (e.g. wireless sensor and actuator networks), health&wellness (e.g. wireless wearable sensing and biomedical circuits), robots, aerospace.
A final exam is foreseen. After passing the exam the University of Pisa will register the course as an official exam of 6 ECTS. Indeed, the school has got already an accreditation at European level being part of the network of European Summer Schools. The school is at its 10th edition: in the past 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024 editions hosted about 40 students/year, from 4 continents (Europe, America, Asia, Africa) with invited speakers like Federico Faggin, the "father of the microprocessor", Franco Maloberti, IEEE CAS society President, Lorenzo Fioramonti, past Minister for University and Research. Lecturers will be from University of Pisa, University of Kiel, University Grenoble Alpes plus invited speaker from Industry.
The teaching material has been published in the IEEE book "Enabling Technologies for the Internet of Things: Wireless Circuits, Systems and Networks", 2018, Editor: Sergio Saponara, University of Pisa, Italy, ISBN: 9788793609747
The 2025 program will be similar to the last years' program available at https://www.dii.unipi.it/node/2376/
