ABOUT THE COURSE:
The disrupted conventional computing models for internet of things(IoT), cloud computing, machine learning and embedded technologies have emerging computing paradigms called as Edge Computing. Computing has taken many shapes from edge to cloud. This course has been designed with an objective to provide a comprehensive understanding of relevant technologies (IoT, ML and Cloud) for various emerging computing paradigms of Edge Computing.
Emerging Internet of Things (IoT) applications such as augmented reality, self-driving automobiles, and many others are delay sensitive and computation expensive, require real-time processing of massive amounts of data generated by distributed end users. Although the success of cloud computing for supporting high performance computing has been witnessed in recent years, its inefficiency in quality of service (QoS) provisioning for delay sensitive applications as well as high energy consumption has been the bottleneck for the development of delay-sensitive IoT applications. Edge computing has recently developed as a cloud computing extension for QoS provisioning for time-sensitive applications. By deploying computing and network resources along the path between data sources and cloud datacenters, it enables cloud-like computing at the network edge. This course provides an in-depth understanding of terminologies and the core concepts behind Cloud-IoT-Edge problems, applications, systems and the techniques, that underlie today's cutting-edge technologies. It provides an introduction to some of the start-of-the-art IoT and wireless networks, edge and virtualization technologies, recent trends in computer hardware for artificial intelligence, spatial localization and detection, tensor processing unit for fast and affordable artificial intelligence (AI). And while discussing the concepts and techniques, we will also look at various applications of Cloud-IoT-Edge using Machine Learning, Deep Learning, and many others. The course is suitable for all UG/PG students and practicing engineers/ scientists from the diverse fields and interested in learning about the novel cutting edge techniques and applications of Cloud-IoT-Edge.

Course certificate

The course is free to enroll and learn from. But if you want a certificate, you have to register and write the proctored exam conducted by us in person at any of the designated exam centres.

The exam is optional for a fee of Rs 1000/- (Rupees one thousand only).

Date and Time of Exams: 29 April 2023 Morning session 9am to 12 noon; Afternoon Session 2pm to 5pm.

Registration url: Announcements will be made when the registration form is open for registrations.

The online registration form has to be filled and the certification exam fee needs to be paid. More details will be made available when the exam registration form is published. If there are any changes, it will be mentioned then.

Please check the form for more details on the cities where the exams will be held, the conditions you agree to when you fill the form etc.

CRITERIA TO GET A CERTIFICATE

Average assignment score = 25% of average of best 6 assignments out of the total 8 assignments given in the course.
Exam score = 75% of the proctored certification exam score out of 100

Final score = Average assignment score + Exam score

YOU WILL BE ELIGIBLE FOR A CERTIFICATE ONLY IF AVERAGE ASSIGNMENT SCORE >=10/25 AND EXAM SCORE >= 30/75. If one of the 2 criteria is not met, you will not get the certificate even if the Final score >= 40/100.
