This course consists of weekly seminars presented by postgraduate students, faculty, and guest speakers on a wide range of IoT-related research problems, the students taking this course are expcted to gain better abilities to read and understand research papers, develop critical thinking to evaluate the topics and approaches of the papers, and improve their cababilities of technical writing and presentation.
Course format:
A total of 11 seminars (not include the first meeting).
A list of IoT-related research papers, divided into sub-topics, will be prepared and maintained by IoT faculties (see below).
Each student signs up for being the leader of one seminar, and selects one paper from the list to present (by the beginning of second meeting). The leader student can also pick a paper of his/her own interest that is not on the list, upon the approval of the instructor.

In the last part, the leader student leads free discussion about the presented paper.
