Aims
This module 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 module, 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.
