Description

An in-depth knowledge of Smart City Platforms is essential to develop projects suitable for smart cities"

##IMAGE##

Today, Smart Cities are at the forefront of digital transformation processes and, according to all technological indicators, we are only at the beginning of this journey, since, as these digital capabilities are explored, new paths and application areas are being incorporated into the smart city ecosystem.

This postgraduate certificate will focus on the main part of a global Smart City Project: the platform. The main capabilities and general architecture that a digital city platform should provide, as well as the regulatory framework and recommendations for implementation will be outlined.

Once the general framework has been defined, we will study the enabling elements that, even being outside what is considered platform, are of vital importance to achieve the integration of all the elements that can make up a smart city structure, with special emphasis on communications networks and distributed computing systems, both Cloud and Edge.

The characteristics that these platforms must have in the support layer, which is the one that will offer its services to the others (business layers) for their correct operation, will also be known; among these services will be security, monitoring and user management.

For the study of the acquisition layer, in charge of connecting the different data sources from which the Smart City will be fed, which is one of the key points of this program, a review will be made of the existing technological possibilities and the strategies used to connect with the different types of sources will be detailed, depending on the nature of the information they provide: IoT data, data in databases, data from other platforms and expert systems and unstructured data.

To achieve the objective of professional improvement and specialization, TECH offers cutting-edge training adapted to the latest developments in this field, with an up-to-date syllabus developed by experienced professionals who are willing to put all their knowledge at their students’ disposal. It should be noted that since this is a 100% online postgraduate certificate, the student is not conditioned by fixed schedules or the need to move to another physical location, but can access the contents at any time of the day, balancing their work or personal life with their academic life.

The completion of this postgraduate certificate will place engineering and architecture professionals at the forefront of the latest developments in the sector"
