Aims
This half unit is designed to provide an insight
into the nature and potential of Telematics Applications together
with an understanding of the component technologies.
The module will also present the characteristics of new
high speed technologies. As well as traditional lectures,
some material will be presented by videos made by world
experts in various fields.
Objectives
At the end of the half unit, the students will:
-
understand the potential of telematics systems;
-
be able to create a simple client-server pair of programs
using TCP/IP network support;
-
understand some of the problems that appear in the
management of routing and naming in large networks;
-
understand the issues involved in the management of networks.
