Lecturer: Professor Jorge Sa Silva from the University of Coimbra.

In the ever-evolving construction industry, the incorporation of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) through Low-power Wireless Area Networks (LPWAN), such as LoRaWAN, has emerged as a practical solution for addressing the challenges posed by the limited 5G cellular coverage found in solutions like NB-IoT and LTE-M, especially when deployed in remote locations. Open-source LPWAN platforms like The Things Network (TTN) and ChirpStack have played a pivotal role in fostering the adoption of LoRa technology by providing a mature and cost-effective ecosystem that facilitates efficient device resource management. Within this context, this program aims to introduce a structured approach for extracting data from TTN to create a comprehensive gateway monitoring system. The methodology encompasses various aspects, including ensuring seamless server connectivity, specifically focusing on efficient information management and integration of real-world construction data.

Professor Jorge Sá Silva received his PhD in Informatics Engineering in 2001 from the University of Coimbra. He is Associate Professor with Habilitation at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (DEEC) of the Faculty of Sciences and Technology of the University of Coimbra and a Researcher of Institute for Systems Engineering and Computers at Coimbra (INESC Coimbra). He has been invited professor at several international universities and his main research interests are Internet of Things, Network Protocols, Human-in-the-Loop, and Wireless Sensor Networks. He was the supervisor of 12 PhD students (concluded), two of them in foreign universities and has been serving as a reviewer with publications in top conferences and journals in his expertise areas. His publications include two books, five book chapters and over 170 papers in refereed national and international conferences and magazines. He has participated in European initiatives and projects with some as leader. He actively participated in the organization of several international conferences and workshops, (e.g. he was the Workshop Chair of IFIP Networking 2006, General Co-Chair of EWSN 2010, General Co-Chair of Mobiquitous 2015, General Vice-Chair of WoWMoM 2016, General Chair of ACM Senys 2021) and was also involved in program committees of national and international conferences. He is a senior member of IEEE and is a licensed Professional Engineer.
