==Workﬂow==

The workflow of the seminar is as follows.

=== 1. Topic selection ===
Each student picks a topic to work on. '''You can pick a topic and start working at any time.''' Just approach the topic advisor and he will give you initial information and a time frame for the topic. Alternatively you can select a topic at the first session of a semester.

=== 2. Topic advisor ===
For each topic a supervising tutor is available who is familiar with the topic. He is your contact person for questions and problems regarding the topic. The tutor supports you as much as ''you'' want, so don't hesitate to approach him for general advice or with any questions you might have. You must have at least one face-to-face meeting to discuss your outline and initial thoughts. It is recommended that you schedule a first meeting right when you select the topic you want to work on.

=== 3. Approach your topic ===

* Topic titles are rather abstract.
* You chose the direction of your elaboration.
* For example:
** Survey style: Basic introduction, overview about the ﬁeld, general problems, methods, approaches.
** Speciﬁc problem: Selective introduction, detail the problem, introduce solutions or approaches.
*Include your own thoughts: Evaluation section, outlook in the end.
*Remember: We are interested in the aspects related to ''Internet technologies''.

=== 4. Prepare a Presentation ===

'''TLDR version:'''
* Give an overview of your topic to the audience.
* 20 minutes of presentation followed by 10 minutes discussion.
* Slides should be in English.

As a part of the seminar you have to present your topic to an audience of students and other interested people. Your presentation should give the audience a general idea of the topic and highlight interesting issues and problems. Try to explain the motivation behind your topic and the problems that are addressed as well as the solutions and open questions. You have 20 minutes to present your topic followed by 10 minutes of discussion. You must keep within the time limit of 30 minutes. The deadline for the slides you prepare for the presentation is one week before the actual presentation. Please send the slides to your topic advisor as soon possible though, so you have time to include any feedback you got.

You can chose on your own whether you want to prepare the presentation or write the report first. We recommend that you have a rough draft of the presentation as a basis to discuss your approach of the topic with your advisor before writing a lot of text. It is easier to exchange a couple of slides than a couple pages in the report.

Some hints you should keep in mind when preparing the presentation:
* 20 minutes are too short to present a topic fully.
* Limit the introduction of basics (5 min.).
* Focus on the interesting parts of the topic.
* It is alright to focus just on one certain important aspect.
* Make sure to ﬁnish in time!

Tips for preparing the slides:
* No more than 15 slides.
* Get your audiences to quickly understand the idea of the presentation
*Figures, tables and animations are better than wordy sentences
*Use example to explain complicated algorithms
*Short sentences
*Avoid complicated equations
*Summary of the topic: thinking/justification of the approach(es) in your own words

=== 5. Write the Report ===

'''TLDR version:'''
* Comprehensively cover the topic.
* Content:
** Present the problem with its background (˜10%).
** Detail available approaches, techniques, methodologies to deal with this problem. What are their properties, advantages and drawbacks(˜50%).
** Evaluate and assess those approaches (˜30%).
** Give a short outlook on potential future developments (˜10%).
* Between 12 and 15 pages of content (usual thesis layout).
* Written in English according to common guidelines for scientific papers.
* '''Deadline: End of the semester.'''

The report is the main part of your work. It must be between 12 and 15 pages of content (not including table of content, bibliography and such) and comprehensively cover your topic.

=== 6. Block meetings ===
There will be no general meetings for this seminar. The work for will be done by yourself with the assistance of your topic advisor. There will be a limited number of block meetings every semester. In general there will be one block meeting in the beginning of a semester to give an introduction to the course and a couple of dates for the presentations. Please see the schedule for the current semester for the exact dates. While the participation in the presentation meetings is mandatory, you are not required to participate in the organizational meeting. If you miss the general meeting or you want to start your work earlier (for example during the semester break), please contact the teaching assistants (see top of this page) or the topic advisor for your topic.

Evaluation of Human Altruism with DTN based data forwarding

2012-01-16T00:36:33Z

Shameed: /* Details */

== Details ==
{{Project Description
|supervisor=[http://www.net.informatik.uni-goettingen.de/people/sufian_hameed Sufian Hameed]
|duration= 6 months
|type= Bachelor/Master/Student Thesis
|status= Open
}}

== Description ==
Altruism, trust or incentive studies are very related to what is happening in the field of behavior economy. People in that research field usually use games (popular prisoner's dilemma, dictator game) to test and observe the behaviors of the participants when they encountering different choices. But these kind of games are very limited and artificial and many of the conclusion are very unreliable, for example from the dictator game, one may observe that a lot of participants are willing to share their money with their partners, but we cannot draw the conclusion that people are altruistic from it. The reason is that usually you recruit students to participate in the game (usually happened in academic research), and under your supervision/observation (you are the professor), the students will tend to behave nicely.

Using the DTN data forwarding (whether someone will forward data for others), we can explore the real altruistic/selfish behavior of the people. During this thesis we will use [http://user.informatik.uni-goettingen.de/~kzhu/goose.html Goose] as the experimental platform to evaluate the altruistic nature of smart phone users.

ISATS: Leveraging Identity Based Sender Authentication and Trust for Spam Mitigation

|duration= 6 months
|type= Bachelor/Master/Student Thesis
|status= Open
}}

== Description ==
The explosive growth in the unsolicited email (spam) in the past decade has made it impossible for email communications to function without spam protection/filtering. Currently, spam emails have largely outnumbered legitimate ones, increasing from 65% in 2005 to 89% (262 billion spam messages daily) in 2010. Despite that researchers and practitioners have developed and deployed a broad variety of systems intended to prevent spam; it remains a pressing problem of large scale.
The spam protection systems used today only filter spam from the user’s inbox (i.e. recipient’s edge), but the spam already travels the network, and provokes non-negligible cost to network operators in terms of bandwidth and infrastructure. On the other hand, content-based filtering, one of the most widely adopted defense mechanism, has turned spam problem into false positive and negative one. In consequence, this makes email delivery unreliable.

In '''iSATS''' we will leverage the Identity of the email sender to authenticate the source. Further we will maintain a Trust Infrastructure to verify the legitimacy of email along with the sender. Following are the design requirements of iSATS.

* Bind sender‘s identity to the domains, making the misbehaving sender visible.
* Mail Server (MS) take ownership of the messages they transmit (sender authentication).
* Each email user on the MS are assigned Trust Ratings (TR) to differentiate between legitimate and illegitimate users.
* MS at the receiver maintains local reputation of the sending MS.
* iSATS remains transparent to end users and operated at the SMTP time.

== Required Skills==
* High motivation and ability to work independently and capability to learn quickly new concepts.
* Basic understanding of computer networking
* Good programming skills

==Workﬂow==

The workflow of the seminar is as follows.

=== 1. Topic selection ===
Each student picks a topic to work on. '''You can pick a topic and start working at any time.''' Just approach the topic advisor and he will give you initial information and a time frame for the topic. Alternatively you can select a topic at the first session of a semester.

=== 2. Topic advisor ===
For each topic a supervising tutor is available who is familiar with the topic. He is your contact person for questions and problems regarding the topic. The tutor supports you as much as ''you'' want, so don't hesitate to approach him for general advice or with any questions you might have. You must have at least one face-to-face meeting to discuss your outline and initial thoughts. It is recommended that you schedule a first meeting right when you select the topic you want to work on.

=== 3. Approach your topic ===

* Topic titles are rather abstract.
* You chose the direction of your elaboration.
* For example:
** Survey style: Basic introduction, overview about the ﬁeld, general problems, methods, approaches.
** Speciﬁc problem: Selective introduction, detail the problem, introduce solutions or approaches.
*Include your own thoughts: Evaluation section, outlook in the end.
*Remember: We are interested in the aspects related to ''Internet technologies''.

=== 4. Prepare a Presentation ===

'''TLDR version:'''
* Give an overview of your topic to the audience.
* 20 minutes of presentation followed by 10 minutes discussion.
* Slides should be in English.

As a part of the seminar you have to present your topic to an audience of students and other interested people. Your presentation should give the audience a general idea of the topic and highlight interesting issues and problems. Try to explain the motivation behind your topic and the problems that are addressed as well as the solutions and open questions. You have 20 minutes to present your topic followed by 10 minutes of discussion. You must keep within the time limit of 30 minutes. The deadline for the slides you prepare for the presentation is one week before the actual presentation. Please send the slides to your topic advisor as soon possible though, so you have time to include any feedback you got.

You can chose on your own whether you want to prepare the presentation or write the report first. We recommend that you have a rough draft of the presentation as a basis to discuss your approach of the topic with your advisor before writing a lot of text. It is easier to exchange a couple of slides than a couple pages in the report.

Some hints you should keep in mind when preparing the presentation:
* 20 minutes are too short to present a topic fully.
* Limit the introduction of basics (5 min.).
* Focus on the interesting parts of the topic.
* It is alright to focus just on one certain important aspect.
* Make sure to ﬁnish in time!

Tips for preparing the slides:
* No more than 15 slides.
* Get your audiences to quickly understand the idea of the presentation
*Figures, tables and animations are better than wordy sentences
*Use example to explain complicated algorithms
*Short sentences
*Avoid complicated equations
*Summary of the topic: thinking/justification of the approach(es) in your own words

=== 5. Write the Report ===

'''TLDR version:'''
* Comprehensively cover the topic.
* Content:
** Present the problem with its background (˜10%).
** Detail available approaches, techniques, methodologies to deal with this problem. What are their properties, advantages and drawbacks(˜50%).

==Workﬂow==

The workflow of the seminar is as follows.

=== 1. Topic selection ===
Each student picks a topic to work on. '''You can pick a topic and start working at any time.''' Just approach the topic advisor and he will give you initial information and a time frame for the topic. Alternatively you can select a topic at the first session of a semester.

=== 2. Topic advisor ===
For each topic a supervising tutor is available who is familiar with the topic. He is your contact person for questions and problems regarding the topic. The tutor supports you as much as ''you'' want, so don't hesitate to approach him for general advice or with any questions you might have. You must have at least one face-to-face meeting to discuss your outline and initial thoughts. It is recommended that you schedule a first meeting right when you select the topic you want to work on.

=== 3. Approach your topic ===

* Topic titles are rather abstract.
* You chose the direction of your elaboration.
* For example:
** Survey style: Basic introduction, overview about the ﬁeld, general problems, methods, approaches.
** Speciﬁc problem: Selective introduction, detail the problem, introduce solutions or approaches.
*Include your own thoughts: Evaluation section, outlook in the end.
*Remember: We are interested in the aspects related to ''Internet technologies''.

=== 4. Prepare a Presentation ===

'''TLDR version:'''
* Give an overview of your topic to the audience.
* 20 minutes of presentation followed by 10 minutes discussion.
* Slides should be in English.

As a part of the seminar you have to present your topic to an audience of students and other interested people. Your presentation should give the audience a general idea of the topic and highlight interesting issues and problems. Try to explain the motivation behind your topic and the problems that are addressed as well as the solutions and open questions. You have 20 minutes to present your topic followed by 10 minutes of discussion. You must keep within the time limit of 30 minutes. The deadline for the slides you prepare for the presentation is one week before the actual presentation. Please send the slides to your topic advisor as soon possible though, so you have time to include any feedback you got.

You can chose on your own whether you want to prepare the presentation or write the report first. We recommend that you have a rough draft of the presentation as a basis to discuss your approach of the topic with your advisor before writing a lot of text. It is easier to exchange a couple of slides than a couple pages in the report.

Some hints you should keep in mind when preparing the presentation:
* 20 minutes are too short to present a topic fully.
* Limit the introduction of basics (5 min.).
* Focus on the interesting parts of the topic.
* It is alright to focus just on one certain important aspect.
* Make sure to ﬁnish in time!

Tips for preparing the slides:
* No more than 15 slides.
* Get your audiences to quickly understand the idea of the presentation
*Figures, tables and animations are better than wordy sentences
*Use example to explain complicated algorithms
*Short sentences
*Avoid complicated equations
*Summary of the topic: thinking/justification of the approach(es) in your own words

=== 5. Write the Report ===

'''TLDR version:'''
* Comprehensively cover the topic.
* Content:
** Present the problem with its background (˜10%).
** Detail available approaches, techniques, methodologies to deal with this problem. What are their properties, advantages and drawbacks(˜50%).
** Evaluate and assess those approaches (˜30%).
** Give a short outlook on potential future developments (˜10%).
* Between 12 and 15 pages of content (usual thesis layout).
* Written in English according to common guidelines for scientific papers.
* '''Deadline: End of the semester.'''

The report is the main part of your work. It must be between 12 and 15 pages of content (not including table of content, bibliography and such) and comprehensively cover your topic.

=== 6. Block meetings ===
There will be no general meetings for this seminar. The work for will be done by yourself with the assistance of your topic advisor. There will be a limited number of block meetings every semester. In general there will be one block meeting in the beginning of a semester to give an introduction to the course and a couple of dates for the presentations.

}}

== Description ==
The explosive growth in the unsolicited email (spam) in the past decade has made it impossible for email communications to function without spam protection/filtering. Currently, spam emails have largely outnumbered legitimate ones, increasing from 65% in 2005 to 89% (262 billion spam messages daily) in 2010. Despite that researchers and practitioners have developed and deployed a broad variety of systems intended to prevent spam; it remains a pressing problem of large scale.
The spam protection systems used today only filter spam from the user’s inbox (i.e. recipient’s edge), but the spam already travels the network, and provokes non-negligible cost to network operators in terms of bandwidth and infrastructure. On the other hand, content-based filtering, one of the most widely adopted defense mechanism, has turned spam problem into false positive and negative one. In consequence, this makes email delivery unreliable.

In '''iSATS''' we will leverage the Identity of the email sender to authenticate the source. Further we will maintain a Trust Infrastructure to verify the legitimacy of email along with the sender. Following are the design requirements of iSATS.

* Bind sender‘s identity to the domains, making the misbehaving sender visible.
* Mail Server (MS) take ownership of the messages they transmit (sender authentication).
* Each email user on the MS are assigned Trust Ratings (TR) to differentiate between legitimate and illegitimate users.
* MS at the receiver maintains local reputation of the sending MS.
* iSATS remains transparent to end users and operated at the SMTP time.

== Required Skills==
* High motivation and ability to work independently and capability to learn quickly new concepts.
* Basic understanding of computer networking
* Good programming skills

On the other hand, content-based filtering, one of the most widely adopted defense mechanism, has turned spam problem into false positive and negative one. In consequence, this makes email delivery unreliable.

In recent years several techniques [5, 6 and 7] have been presented using social networks to fight spam. Unfortunately their services are only limited within the social network of an email user. At Computer Netwoks groups, in collaboration with Deutsche Telekom labs, we are actively working on LENS, a new spam protection system, which leverages anti-social networking paradigm based on an underlying trust infrastructure to both extend spam protection beyond a user’s social circle and fundamentally prevent the transmission of spam across the network at the first place. . The key idea of this paradigm in LENS is to select email users called Gatekeepers (GKs), from outside the user’s social circle and within pre-defined social distances. Unless a GK vouches for the emails of potential senders from outside the social circle of a particular recipient, those e-mails are prevented from transmission.

The goal of this thesis is to design and implement a protocol for authenticating that the selected GKs (to vouch for spam free communication outside a user’s social circle) are legitimate and non-malicious GKs.

== Description ==
Altruism, trust or incentive studies are very related to what is happening in the field of behavior economy. People in that research field usually use games (popular prisoner's dilemma, dictator game) to test and observe the behaviors of the participants when they encountering different choices. But these kind of games are very limited and artificial and many of the conclusion are very unreliable, for example from the dictator game, one may observe that a lot of participants are willing to share their money with their partners, but we cannot draw the conclusion that people are altruistic from it. The reason is that usually you recruit students to participate in the game (usually happened in academic research), and under your supervision/observation (you are the professor), the students will tend to behave nicely.

Using the DTN data forwarding (whether someone will forward data for others), we can explore the real altruistic/selfish behavior of the people. During this thesis we will use [http://user.informatik.uni-goettingen.de/~kzhu/goose.html Goose] as the experimental platform to evaluate the altruistic nature of smart phone users.

I think using the DTN data forwarding (whether someone will forward data for others) , we can explore the real altruistic/selfish behavior of the people. If we find out that people are very willing to forward data then it is good for networking conference paper, if we find out that people are not really willing to forward data, we can have a paper to Journal of Economic Behavior and Organization or even to Science. So overall, I believe we are doing very good and important research.

Regarding experiment design, you may want to have a look at these papers. I can also scan a chapter of a book (superfreakonomics) by (http://pricetheory.uchicago.edu/levitt/index.html ) I have to send to you, which introduce the problem very well.

One possible interesting topic as a follow up is about evaluation of human altruism, which is very related to social network you studied in the LENS project.

The single most important question in the whole design is how to ensure that the GKs are non-malicious (and not spammers themselves). Obviously, we cannot simply assume they are non-malicious simply based on the fact that they are in the social network. Otherwise we can simply whitelist the whole social network.

The goal of this thesis is to design and implement a protocol for authenticating that the selected GKs (to vouch for spam free communication outside a user’s social circle) are legitimate and non-malicious GKs.

Despite that researchers and practitioners have developed and deployed a broad variety of systems intended to prevent spam; it remains a pressing problem of large scale.
The spam protection systems used today only filter spam from the user’s inbox (i.e. recipient’s edge), but the spam already travels the network, and provokes non-negligible cost to network operators in terms of bandwidth and infrastructure. On the other hand, content-based filtering [3, 4], one of the most widely adopted defense mechanism, has turned spam problem into false positive and negative one. In consequence, this makes email delivery unreliable.

In recent years several techniques [5, 6 and 7] have been presented using social networks to fight spam. Unfortunately their services are only limited within the social network of an email user. At Computer Netwoks groups, in collaboration with Deutsche Telekom labs, we are actively working on LENS, a new spam protection system, which leverages anti-social networking paradigm based on an underlying trust infrastructure to both extend spam protection beyond a user’s social circle and fundamentally prevent the transmission of spam across the network at the first place. . The key idea of this paradigm in LENS is to select email users called Gatekeepers (GKs), from outside the user’s social circle and within pre-defined social distances. Unless a GK vouches for the emails of potential senders from outside the social circle of a particular recipient, those e-mails are prevented from transmission.

The single most important question in the whole design is how to ensure that the GKs are non-malicious (and not spammers themselves). Obviously, we cannot simply assume they are non-malicious simply based on the fact that they are in the social network. Otherwise we can simply whitelist the whole social network.

The goal of this thesis is to design and implement a protocol for authenticating that the selected GKs (to vouch for spam free communication outside a user’s social circle) are legitimate and non-malicious GKs.

==Workﬂow==

The workflow of the seminar is as follows.

=== 1. Topic selection ===
Each student picks a topic to work on. '''You can pick a topic and start working at any time.''' Just approach the topic advisor and he will give you initial information and a time frame for the topic. Alternatively you can select a topic at the first session of a semester.

=== 2. Topic advisor ===
For each topic a supervising tutor is available who is familiar with the topic. He is your contact person for questions and problems regarding the topic. The tutor supports you as much as ''you'' want, so don't hesitate to approach him for general advice or with any questions you might have. You should have at least one face-to-face meeting to discuss your outline and initial thoughts. It is recommended that you schedule a first meeting right when you select the topic you want to work on.

=== 3. Approach your topic ===

* Topic titles are rather abstract.
* You chose the direction of your elaboration.
* For example:
** Survey style: Basic introduction, overview about the ﬁeld, general problems, methods, approaches.
** Speciﬁc problem: Selective introduction, detail the problem, introduce solutions or approaches.
*Include your own thoughts: Evaluation section, outlook in the end.
*Remember: We are interested in the aspects related to ''Internet technologies''.

=== 4. Prepare a Presentation ===

'''TLDR version:'''
* Give an overview of your topic to the audience.
* 30 minutes of presentation followed by 10 minutes discussion.
* Slides should be in English.
* '''Deadline (presentation slides): 1 week before the presentation.'''

As a part of the seminar you have to present your topic to an audience of students and other interested people. Your presentation should give the audience a general idea of the topic and highlight interesting issues and problems. Try to explain the motivation behind your topic and the problems that are addressed as well as the solutions and open questions. You have 30 minutes to present your topic followed by 10 minutes of discussion. You must keep within the time limit of 30 minutes. The deadline for the slides you prepare for the presentation is one week before the actual presentation. Please send the slides to your topic advisor as soon possible though, so you have time to include any feedback you got.

You can chose on your own whether you want to prepare the presentation or write the report first. We recommend that you have a rough draft of the presentation as a basis to discuss your approach of the topic with your advisor before writing a lot of text. It is easier to exchange a couple of slides than a couple pages in the report.

Some hints you should keep in mind when preparing the presentation:
* 30 minutes are too short to present a topic fully.
* Limit the introduction of basics (5 to 10 min.).
* Focus on the interesting parts of the topic.
* It is alright to focus just on one certain important aspect.
* Make sure to ﬁnish in time!

Tips for preparing the slides:
* No more than 20 pages.
* Get your audiences to quickly understand the idea of the presentation
*Figures, tables and animations are better than wordy sentences
*Use example to explain complicated algorithms
*Short sentences
*Avoid complicated equations
*Summary of the topic: thinking/justification of the approach(es) in your own words

=== 5. Write the Report ===

'''TLDR version:'''
* Comprehensively cover the topic.
* Content:
** Present the problem with its background (˜10%).
** Detail available approaches, techniques, methodologies to deal with this problem. What are their properties, advantages and drawbacks(˜50%).
** Evaluate and assess those approaches (˜30%).
** Give a short outlook on potential future developments (˜10%).
* Between 12 and 15 pages of content (usual thesis layout).
* Written in English according to common guidelines for scientific papers.
* '''Deadline: End of the semester.'''

The report is the main part of your work. It must be between 12 and 15 pages of content (not including table of content, bibliography and such) and comprehensively cover your topic.

=== 6. Block meetings ===
There will be no general meetings for this seminar. The work for will be done by yourself with the assistance of your topic advisor. There will be a limited number of block meetings every semester. In general there will be one block meeting in the beginning of a semester to give an introduction to the course and a couple of dates for the presentations. Please see the schedule for the current semester for the exact dates. While the participation in the presentation meetings is mandatory, you are not required to participate in the organizational meeting. If you miss the general meeting or you want to start your work earlier (for example during the semester break), please contact the teaching assistants (see top of this page) or the topic advisor for your topic.

==Workﬂow==

The workflow of the seminar is as follows.

=== 1. Topic selection ===
Each student picks a topic to work on. '''You can pick a topic and start working at any time.''' Just approach the topic advisor and he will give you initial information and a time frame for the topic. Alternatively you can select a topic at the first session of a semester.

=== 2. Topic advisor ===
For each topic a supervising tutor is available who is familiar with the topic. He is your contact person for questions and problems regarding the topic. The tutor supports you as much as ''you'' want, so don't hesitate to approach him for general advice or with any questions you might have. You should have at least one face-to-face meeting to discuss your outline and initial thoughts. It is recommended that you schedule a first meeting right when you select the topic you want to work on.

=== 3. Approach your topic ===

* Topic titles are rather abstract.
* You chose the direction of your elaboration.
* For example:
** Survey style: Basic introduction, overview about the ﬁeld, general problems, methods, approaches.
** Speciﬁc problem: Selective introduction, detail the problem, introduce solutions or approaches.
*Include your own thoughts: Evaluation section, outlook in the end.
*Remember: We are interested in the aspects related to ''Internet technologies''.

=== 4. Prepare a Presentation ===

'''TLDR version:'''
* Give an overview of your topic to the audience.
* 30 minutes of presentation followed by 10 minutes discussion.
* Slides should be in English.
* '''Deadline (presentation slides): 1 week before the presentation.'''

As a part of the seminar you have to present your topic to an audience of students and other interested people. Your presentation should give the audience a general idea of the topic and highlight interesting issues and problems. Try to explain the motivation behind your topic and the problems that are addressed as well as the solutions and open questions. You have 30 minutes to present your topic followed by 10 minutes of discussion. You must keep within the time limit of 30 minutes. The deadline for the slides you prepare for the presentation is one week before the actual presentation. Please send the slides to your topic advisor as soon possible though, so you have time to include any feedback you got.

You can chose on your own whether you want to prepare the presentation or write the report first. We recommend that you have a rough draft of the presentation as a basis to discuss your approach of the topic with your advisor before writing a lot of text. It is easier to exchange a couple of slides than a couple pages in the report.

Some hints you should keep in mind when preparing the presentation:
* 30 minutes are too short to present a topic fully.
* Limit the introduction of basics (5 to 10 min.).
* Focus on the interesting parts of the topic.
* It is alright to focus just on one certain important aspect.
* Make sure to ﬁnish in time!

Tips for preparing the slides:
* No more than 20 pages.
* Get your audiences to quickly understand the idea of the presentation
*Figures, tables and animations are better than wordy sentences
*Use example to explain complicated algorithms
*Short sentences
*Avoid complicated equations
*Summary of the topic: thinking/justification of the approach(es) in your own words

=== 5. Write the Report ===

'''TLDR version:'''
* Comprehensively cover the topic.
* Content:
** Present the problem with its background (˜10%).
** Detail available approaches, techniques, methodologies to deal with this problem. What are their properties, advantages and drawbacks(˜50%).
** Evaluate and assess those approaches (˜30%).
** Give a short outlook on potential future developments (˜10%).
* Between 12 and 15 pages of content (usual thesis layout).
* Written in English according to common guidelines for scientific papers.
* '''Deadline: End of the semester.'''

The report is the main part of your work. It must be between 12 and 15 pages of content (not including table of content, bibliography and such) and comprehensively cover your topic.

=== 6. Block meetings ===
There will be no general meetings for this seminar. The work for will be done by yourself with the assistance of your topic advisor. There will be a limited number of block meetings every semester. In general there will be one block meeting in the beginning of a semester to give an introduction to the course and a couple of dates for the presentations. Please see the schedule for the current semester for the exact dates. While the participation in the presentation meetings is mandatory, you are not required to participate in the organizational meeting. If you miss the general meeting or you want to start your work earlier (for example during the semester break), please contact the teaching assistants (see top of this page) or the topic advisor for your topic.

==Workﬂow==

The workflow of the seminar is as follows.

=== 1. Topic selection ===
Each student picks a topic to work on. '''You can pick a topic and start working at any time.''' Just approach the topic advisor and he will give you initial information and a time frame for the topic. Alternatively you can select a topic at the first session of a semester.

=== 2. Topic advisor ===
For each topic a supervising tutor is available who is familiar with the topic. He is your contact person for questions and problems regarding the topic. The tutor supports you as much as ''you'' want, so don't hesitate to approach him for general advice or with any questions you might have. You should have at least one face-to-face meeting to discuss your outline and initial thoughts. It is recommended that you schedule a first meeting right when you select the topic you want to work on.

=== 3. Approach your topic ===

* Topic titles are rather abstract.
* You chose the direction of your elaboration.
* For example:
** Survey style: Basic introduction, overview about the ﬁeld, general problems, methods, approaches.
** Speciﬁc problem: Selective introduction, detail the problem, introduce solutions or approaches.
*Include your own thoughts: Evaluation section, outlook in the end.
*Remember: We are interested in the aspects related to ''Internet technologies''.

=== 4. Prepare a Presentation ===

'''TLDR version:'''
* Give an overview of your topic to the audience.
* 30 minutes of presentation followed by 10 minutes discussion.
* Slides should be in English.
* '''Deadline (presentation slides): 1 week before the presentation.'''

As a part of the seminar you have to present your topic to an audience of students and other interested people. Your presentation should give the audience a general idea of the topic and highlight interesting issues and problems. Try to explain the motivation behind your topic and the problems that are addressed as well as the solutions and open questions. You have 30 minutes to present your topic followed by 10 minutes of discussion. You must keep within the time limit of 30 minutes. The deadline for the slides you prepare for the presentation is one week before the actual presentation. Please send the slides to your topic advisor as soon possible though, so you have time to include any feedback you got.

You can chose on your own whether you want to prepare the presentation or write the report first. We recommend that you have a rough draft of the presentation as a basis to discuss your approach of the topic with your advisor before writing a lot of text. It is easier to exchange a couple of slides than a couple pages in the report.

Some hints you should keep in mind when preparing the presentation:
* 30 minutes are too short to present a topic fully.
* Limit the introduction of basics (5 to 10 min.).
* Focus on the interesting parts of the topic.
* It is alright to focus just on one certain important aspect.
* Make sure to ﬁnish in time!

Tips for preparing the slides:
* No more than 20 pages.
* Get your audiences to quickly understand the idea of the presentation
*Figures, tables and animations are better than wordy sentences
*Use example to explain complicated algorithms
*Short sentences
*Avoid complicated equations
*Summary of the topic: thinking/justification of the approach(es) in your own words

=== 5. Write the Report ===

'''TLDR version:'''
* Comprehensively cover the topic.
* Content:
** Present the problem with its background (˜10%).
** Detail available approaches, techniques, methodologies to deal with this problem. What are their properties, advantages and drawbacks(˜50%).
** Evaluate and assess those approaches (˜30%).
** Give a short outlook on potential future developments (˜10%).
* Between 12 and 15 pages of content (usual thesis layout).
* Written in English according to common guidelines for scientific papers.
* '''Deadline: End of the semester.'''

The report is the main part of your work. It must be between 12 and 15 pages of content (not including table of content, bibliography and such) and comprehensively cover your topic.

=== 6. Block meetings ===
There will be no general meetings for this seminar. The work for will be done by yourself with the assistance of your topic advisor. There will be a limited number of block meetings every semester. In general there will be one block meeting in the beginning of a semester to give an introduction to the course and a couple of dates for the presentations. Please see the schedule for the current semester for the exact dates. While the participation in the presentation meetings is mandatory, you are not required to participate in the organizational meeting. If you miss the general meeting or you want to start your work earlier (for example during the semester break), please contact the teaching assistants (see top of this page) or the topic advisor for your topic.

==Workﬂow==

The workflow of the seminar is as follows.

=== 1. Topic selection ===
Each student picks a topic to work on. '''You can pick a topic and start working at any time.''' Just approach the topic advisor and he will give you initial information and a time frame for the topic. Alternatively you can select a topic at the first session of a semester.

=== 2. Topic advisor ===
For each topic a supervising tutor is available who is familiar with the topic. He is your contact person for questions and problems regarding the topic. The tutor supports you as much as ''you'' want, so don't hesitate to approach him for general advice or with any questions you might have. You should have at least one face-to-face meeting to discuss your outline and initial thoughts. It is recommended that you schedule a first meeting right when you select the topic you want to work on.

=== 3. Approach your topic ===

* Topic titles are rather abstract.
* You chose the direction of your elaboration.
* For example:
** Survey style: Basic introduction, overview about the ﬁeld, general problems, methods, approaches.
** Speciﬁc problem: Selective introduction, detail the problem, introduce solutions or approaches.
*Include your own thoughts: Evaluation section, outlook in the end.
*Remember: We are interested in the aspects related to ''Internet technologies''.

=== 4. Prepare a Presentation ===

'''TLDR version:'''
* Give an overview of your topic to the audience.
* 30 minutes of presentation followed by 10 minutes discussion.
* Slides should be in English.
* '''Deadline (presentation slides): 1 week before the presentation.'''

As a part of the seminar you have to present your topic to an audience of students and other interested people. Your presentation should give the audience a general idea of the topic and highlight interesting issues and problems. Try to explain the motivation behind your topic and the problems that are addressed as well as the solutions and open questions. You have 30 minutes to present your topic followed by 10 minutes of discussion. You must keep within the time limit of 30 minutes. The deadline for the slides you prepare for the presentation is one week before the actual presentation. Please send the slides to your topic advisor as soon possible though, so you have time to include any feedback you got.

You can chose on your own whether you want to prepare the presentation or write the report first. We recommend that you have a rough draft of the presentation as a basis to discuss your approach of the topic with your advisor before writing a lot of text. It is easier to exchange a couple of slides than a couple pages in the report.

Some hints you should keep in mind when preparing the presentation:
* 30 minutes are too short to present a topic fully.
* Limit the introduction of basics (5 to 10 min.).
* Focus on the interesting parts of the topic.
* It is alright to focus just on one certain important aspect.
* Make sure to ﬁnish in time!

Tips for preparing the slides:
* No more than 20 pages.
* Get your audiences to quickly understand the idea of the presentation
*Figures, tables and animations are better than wordy sentences
*Use example to explain complicated algorithms
*Short sentences
*Avoid complicated equations
*Summary of the topic: thinking/justification of the approach(es) in your own words

=== 5. Write the Report ===

'''TLDR version:'''
* Comprehensively cover the topic.
* Content:
** Present the problem with its background (˜10%).
** Detail available approaches, techniques, methodologies to deal with this problem. What are their properties, advantages and drawbacks(˜50%).
** Evaluate and assess those approaches (˜30%).
** Give a short outlook on potential future developments (˜10%).
* Between 12 and 15 pages of content (usual thesis layout).
* Written in English according to common guidelines for scientific papers.
* '''Deadline: End of the semester.'''

The report is the main part of your work. It must be between 12 and 15 pages of content (not including table of content, bibliography and such) and comprehensively cover your topic.

=== 6. Block meetings ===
There will be no general meetings for this seminar. The work for will be done by yourself with the assistance of your topic advisor. There will be a limited number of block meetings every semester. In general there will be one block meeting in the beginning of a semester to give an introduction to the course and a couple of dates for the presentations. Please see the schedule for the current semester for the exact dates. While the participation in the presentation meetings is mandatory, you are not required to participate in the organizational meeting. If you miss the general meeting or you want to start your work earlier (for example during the semester break), please contact the teaching assistants (see top of this page) or the topic advisor for your topic.

==Workﬂow==

The workflow of the seminar is as follows.

=== 1. Topic selection ===
Each student picks a topic to work on. '''You can pick a topic and start working at any time.''' Just approach the topic advisor and he will give you initial information and a time frame for the topic. Alternatively you can select a topic at the first session of a semester.

=== 2. Topic advisor ===
For each topic a supervising tutor is available who is familiar with the topic. He is your contact person for questions and problems regarding the topic. The tutor supports you as much as ''you'' want, so don't hesitate to approach him for general advice or with any questions you might have. You should have at least one face-to-face meeting to discuss your outline and initial thoughts. It is recommended that you schedule a first meeting right when you select the topic you want to work on.

=== 3. Approach your topic ===

* Topic titles are rather abstract.
* You chose the direction of your elaboration.
* For example:
** Survey style: Basic introduction, overview about the ﬁeld, general problems, methods, approaches.
** Speciﬁc problem: Selective introduction, detail the problem, introduce solutions or approaches.
*Include your own thoughts: Evaluation section, outlook in the end.
*Remember: We are interested in the aspects related to ''Internet technologies''.

=== 4. Prepare a Presentation ===

'''TLDR version:'''
* Give an overview of your topic to the audience.
* 30 minutes of presentation followed by 10 minutes discussion.
* Slides should be in English.
* '''Deadline (presentation slides): 1 week before the presentation.'''

As a part of the seminar you have to present your topic to an audience of students and other interested people. Your presentation should give the audience a general idea of the topic and highlight interesting issues and problems. Try to explain the motivation behind your topic and the problems that are addressed as well as the solutions and open questions. You have 30 minutes to present your topic followed by 10 minutes of discussion. You must keep within the time limit of 30 minutes. The deadline for the slides you prepare for the presentation is one week before the actual presentation. Please send the slides to your topic advisor as soon possible though, so you have time to include any feedback you got.

You can chose on your own whether you want to prepare the presentation or write the report first. We recommend that you have a rough draft of the presentation as a basis to discuss your approach of the topic with your advisor before writing a lot of text. It is easier to exchange a couple of slides than a couple pages in the report.

Some hints you should keep in mind when preparing the presentation:
* 30 minutes are too short to present a topic fully.
* Limit the introduction of basics (5 to 10 min.).
* Focus on the interesting parts of the topic.
* It is alright to focus just on one certain important aspect.
* Make sure to ﬁnish in time!

Tips for preparing the slides:
* No more than 20 pages.
* Get your audiences to quickly understand the idea of the presentation
*Figures, tables and animations are better than wordy sentences
*Use example to explain complicated algorithms
*Short sentences
*Avoid complicated equations
*Summary of the topic: thinking/justification of the approach(es) in your own words

=== 5. Write the Report ===

'''TLDR version:'''
* Comprehensively cover the topic.
* Content:
** Present the problem with its background (˜10%).
** Detail available approaches, techniques, methodologies to deal with this problem. What are their properties, advantages and drawbacks(˜50%).
** Evaluate and assess those approaches (˜30%).
** Give a short outlook on potential future developments (˜10%).
* Between 12 and 15 pages of content (usual thesis layout).
* Written in English according to common guidelines for scientific papers.
* '''Deadline: End of the semester.'''

The report is the main part of your work. It must be between 12 and 15 pages of content (not including table of content, bibliography and such) and comprehensively cover your topic.

=== 6. Block meetings ===
There will be no general meetings for this seminar. The work for will be done by yourself with the assistance of your topic advisor. There will be a limited number of block meetings every semester. In general there will be one block meeting in the beginning of a semester to give an introduction to the course and a couple of dates for the presentations. Please see the schedule for the current semester for the exact dates. While the participation in the presentation meetings is mandatory, you are not required to participate in the organizational meeting. If you miss the general meeting or you want to start your work earlier (for example during the semester break), please contact the teaching assistants (see top of this page) or the topic advisor for your topic.

== Description ==
In recent years several techniques have been presented using social networks to fight spam. Unfortunately their services are only limited within the social network of an email user. At Computer Netwoks groups, in collaboration with Deutsche Telekom labs, we are actively working on LENS, a new spam protection system, which leverages anti-social networking paradigm based on an underlying trust infrastructure to both ''extend spam protection beyond a user’s social circle'' and ''fundamentally prevent the transmission of spam across the network at the first place''. The goal of this thesis is to design and implement a prototype of LENS on mail transfer agent (MTA) as an email routing facility, and evaluate the system performances (e.g. delays, and overhead) on large scale tesbeds like PlanetLab.
