Abstract

Concepts related to Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN), Machine-to-Machine (M2M) and the Internet of Things (IoT) have recently gained significant attention in university education. According to this, the need for low-cost, modular, easy-to-use and scalable platform used for building various network systems in order to provide an environment for developing and testing software applications for WSN, IoT and related technologies is very high. This paper presents an approach in creating platform based on open source hardware designed to provide an infrastructure for teaching development of software applications for WSN, in this case applications for RFID/ZigBee networks, to be used in Computing education and profession.
