Design-Integrated IoT Capacity Building using Tangible Building Blocks.

Christian Stary & Claudia Kaar, from the Institute of Business Informatics, Communications Engineering had one of thier papers published at the 2020 IEEE 20th International Conference on Advanced Learning Technologies (ICALT).

The paper was titled ‘Design-Integrated IoT Capacity Building using Tangible Building Blocks., öffnet eine externe URL in einem neuen Fenster’ It explored how the emergence of customized services and products utilizing Internet-of-Things (IoT) systems requires specific design skills. Developers need to understand IoT systems as complex hardware/software systems of highly dynamic nature, coherently connected to design representations, such as digital twins. While the importance of designing a use or business case is acknowledged in IoT engineering, there is a lack of methods integrated with the early design phases of IoT systems. We propose an agile support method for design-integrated capacity building. The approach features tangible IoT components and their (meta-)models, which are complemented by digital learning support tools. The benefits stemming from tangible design and implementation are structured and aligned hands-on experiences including system prototyping.
