Application to Specific Scenarios; Environment

The environmental theme covers a wide range of topics. The increasing processing capability of mobile devices has enabled almost universal access to information, but the increased number of devices has impacted on the environment.

Modelling and Simulation
Prepare a presentation on the technological developments in the assigned areas of environment. Your presentation should;
i)   Show the different IT systems and concepts related to the area assigned
ii)  Show a video and/or a diagram that simplify the description of how the technology functions.
iii) Examine the impact of the different related technologies on the environment
iv) Share any future developments of the technology or related technologies.
