'''The use of Delay Tolerant Networks in Real Life examples'''

Delay Tolerant Networks (DTN) are a particular family of networks characterized by high, unpredictable node mobility and consequently by the possible lack of a path between source and destination. To counterbalance the numerous drawbacks is the fact that these networks require little or no infrastructure and can act in a completely decentralized way. Many protocols have been proposed in the last 10 years. The student is required to present a general overview of DTN and in particular to investigate how DTN principles are used in hot researched fields, including Internet of Things (IoT), Vehicular Networks (VANETs), Emergency systems, Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) and pervasive computing.

|'''Understanding Modern Web Service Deployment in EC2 and Azure''' ''(Assigned to Fitria Nilamsari)''

Today, web services are increasingly being deployed in infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) clouds such as Amazon EC2, Windows Azure, and Rackspace. Hence, it is critical to understand the usage patterns and identiﬁes ways in which cloud tenants could better leverage IaaS clouds.

|'''Efficient crowdsourcing for multi-class labeling''' ''(Assigned to Berker Vardarsuyu)''

Crowdsourcing systems like Amazon's Mechanical Turk have emerged as an effective large-scale human-powered platform for performing tasks in domains such as image classification, data entry, recommendation, and proofreading. Since workers are low-paid (a few cents per task) and tasks performed are monotonous, the answers obtained are noisy and hence unreliable. To obtain reliable estimates, it is essential to utilize appropriate inference algorithms (e.g. Majority voting) coupled with structured redundancy through task assignment.

|'''Technical, Economical and Ethical Issues with Net Neutrality -- or the Lack thereof''' ''(Assigned to Uche Oteh)''

Net neutrality refers to current state of the internet, where all data should be treated equally, without discrimination of specific flows or entities.
However, this state has recently been questioned by several providers and government authorities.
In this topic, the reasons and motivations for and against net neutrality should be investigated,
with a focus on the technical implementations and outcomes of an Internet, where neutrality is no longer given.

|'''Advances in Networking towards The Internet of Things''' ''(Assigned to Giovanna Parra)''

The idea of Internet of Things -- or IoT -- is to interconnect uniquely identifiable embedded computing devices within the existing Internet infrastructure [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_of_Things].
Over 25 billion of such devices are expected to be connected within the IoT by 2020.
The IETF has recently released a protocol suite to enable communication between the devices.
In this topic, the most recent advances towards the IoT should be investigated to obtain a clear overview of where both research and industry are currently standing and whether or not the 2020 estimation is still valid.

| '''Semantic Matching in Search''' ''(Assigned to Yimo Liu)''
Relevance is the most important factor to assure users’ satisfaction in search and the success of a search engine heavily depends on its performance on relevance. It has been observed that most of the dissatisfaction cases in relevance are due to term mismatch between queries and documents (e.g., query “ny times” does not match well with a document only containing “New York Times”), because term matching, i.e., the bag-of-words approach, still functions as the main mechanism of modern search engines.

==Workﬂow==

=== 1. Select a topic ===
A student picks a topic to work on. You can pick up a topic and start working '''at any time'''. However, make sure to notify [http://user.informatik.uni-goettingen.de/~dkoll David] and the advisor of the topic before starting to work.

=== 2. Get your work advised ===
For each topic, a topic advisor is available. He is your contact person for questions and problems regarding the topic. He supports you as much as you want, so please do not hesitate to approach him for any advice or with any questions you might have. It is recommended (and not mandatory) that you schedule a face-to-face meeting with him right after you select your topic.

=== 3. Approach your topic ===

* By choosing a topic, you choose the direction of elaboration.
* You may work in different styles, for example:
** Survey: Basic introduction, overview of the ﬁeld; general problems, methods, approaches.
** Specific problem: Detailed introduction, details about the problem and the solution.
* You should include your own thoughts on your topic.

=== 4. Prepare your presentation ===

* Present your topic to the audience (in English).
* 20 minutes of presentation followed by 10 minutes discussion.

You present your topic to an audience of students and other interested people (usually the [http://www.net.informatik.uni-goettingen.de/ NET] group members). Your presentation should give the audience a general idea of the topic and highlight interesting problems and solutions. You have 20 minutes to present your topic followed by 10 minutes of discussion. You must keep it within the time limit. Please send your slides to your topic advisor for any possible feedback before your presentation.

Hints for preparing the presentation:
* 20 minutes are too short to present a topic fully.
* It is alright to focus just on one certain important aspect.
* Limit the introduction of basics (5 min.).
* Make sure to ﬁnish in time.

Suggestions for preparing the slides:
* No more than 20 pages/slides.
* Get your audiences to quickly understand the general idea.
* Figures, tables and animations are better than sentences.
* Summary of the topic: thinking in your own words.

=== 5. Write your report ===

* Present the problem with its background.
* Detail the approaches, techniques, methods to handle the problem.
* Evaluate and assess those approaches (e.g., pros and cons).
* Give a short outlook on potential future developments.

The report must be written in English according to common guidelines for scientific papers, between 12 and 15 pages of content (excluding the table of content, bibliography, etc.).

=== 6. Course schedule===
There are no regular meetings, lectures or classes for this course. The work is expected to be done by yourself with the assistance of your topic advisor. Please follow the [[#Schedule]] to take appropriate actions.

'''The use of Delay Tolerant Networks in Real Life examples'''

Delay Tolerant Networks (DTN) are a particular family of networks characterized by high, unpredictable node mobility and consequently by the possible lack of a path between source and destination. To counterbalance the numerous drawbacks is the fact that these networks require little or no infrastructure and can act in a completely decentralized way. Many protocols have been proposed in the last 10 years. The student is required to present a general overview of DTN and in particular to investigate how DTN principles are used in hot researched fields, including Internet of Things (IoT), Vehicular Networks (VANETs), Emergency systems, Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) and pervasive computing.

|'''Understanding Modern Web Service Deployment in EC2 and Azure''' ''(Assigned to Fitria Nilamsari)''

Today, web services are increasingly being deployed in infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) clouds such as Amazon EC2, Windows Azure, and Rackspace. Hence, it is critical to understand the usage patterns and identiﬁes ways in which cloud tenants could better leverage IaaS clouds.

|'''Efficient crowdsourcing for multi-class labeling'''

Crowdsourcing systems like Amazon's Mechanical Turk have emerged as an effective large-scale human-powered platform for performing tasks in domains such as image classification, data entry, recommendation, and proofreading. Since workers are low-paid (a few cents per task) and tasks performed are monotonous, the answers obtained are noisy and hence unreliable. To obtain reliable estimates, it is essential to utilize appropriate inference algorithms (e.g. Majority voting) coupled with structured redundancy through task assignment.

|'''Technical, Economical and Ethical Issues with Net Neutrality -- or the Lack thereof''' ''(Assigned to Uche Oteh)''

Net neutrality refers to current state of the internet, where all data should be treated equally, without discrimination of specific flows or entities.
However, this state has recently been questioned by several providers and government authorities.
In this topic, the reasons and motivations for and against net neutrality should be investigated,
with a focus on the technical implementations and outcomes of an Internet, where neutrality is no longer given.

|'''Advances in Networking towards The Internet of Things''' ''(Assigned to Giovanna Parra)''

The idea of Internet of Things -- or IoT -- is to interconnect uniquely identifiable embedded computing devices within the existing Internet infrastructure [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_of_Things].
Over 25 billion of such devices are expected to be connected within the IoT by 2020.
The IETF has recently released a protocol suite to enable communication between the devices.
In this topic, the most recent advances towards the IoT should be investigated to obtain a clear overview of where both research and industry are currently standing and whether or not the 2020 estimation is still valid.

| '''Semantic Matching in Search'''
Relevance is the most important factor to assure users’ satisfaction in search and the success of a search engine heavily depends on its performance on relevance. It has been observed that most of the dissatisfaction cases in relevance are due to term mismatch between queries and documents (e.g., query “ny times” does not match well with a document only containing “New York Times”), because term matching, i.e., the bag-of-words approach, still functions as the main mechanism of modern search engines.

'''Understanding Modern Web Service Deployment in EC2 and Azure'''

Today, web services are increasingly being deployed in infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) clouds such as Amazon EC2, Windows Azure, and Rackspace. Hence, it is critical to understand the usage patterns and identiﬁes ways in which cloud tenants could better leverage IaaS clouds.

|'''Efficient crowdsourcing for multi-class labeling'''

Crowdsourcing systems like Amazon's Mechanical Turk have emerged as an effective large-scale human-powered platform for performing tasks in domains such as image classification, data entry, recommendation, and proofreading. Since workers are low-paid (a few cents per task) and tasks performed are monotonous, the answers obtained are noisy and hence unreliable. To obtain reliable estimates, it is essential to utilize appropriate inference algorithms (e.g. Majority voting) coupled with structured redundancy through task assignment.

|'''Technical, Economical and Ethical Issues with Net Neutrality -- or the Lack thereof''' ''(Assigned to Uche Oteh)''

Net neutrality refers to current state of the internet, where all data should be treated equally, without discrimination of specific flows or entities.
However, this state has recently been questioned by several providers and government authorities.
In this topic, the reasons and motivations for and against net neutrality should be investigated,
with a focus on the technical implementations and outcomes of an Internet, where neutrality is no longer given.

|'''Advances in Networking towards The Internet of Things''' ''(Assigned to Giovanna Parra)''

The idea of Internet of Things -- or IoT -- is to interconnect uniquely identifiable embedded computing devices within the existing Internet infrastructure [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_of_Things].
Over 25 billion of such devices are expected to be connected within the IoT by 2020.
The IETF has recently released a protocol suite to enable communication between the devices.
In this topic, the most recent advances towards the IoT should be investigated to obtain a clear overview of where both research and industry are currently standing and whether or not the 2020 estimation is still valid.

| '''Semantic Matching in Search'''
Relevance is the most important factor to assure users’ satisfaction in search and the success of a search engine heavily depends on its performance on relevance. It has been observed that most of the dissatisfaction cases in relevance are due to term mismatch between queries and documents (e.g., query “ny times” does not match well with a document only containing “New York Times”), because term matching, i.e., the bag-of-words approach, still functions as the main mechanism of modern search engines.

'''Understanding Modern Web Service Deployment in EC2 and Azure'''

Today, web services are increasingly being deployed in infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) clouds such as Amazon EC2, Windows Azure, and Rackspace. Hence, it is critical to understand the usage patterns and identiﬁes ways in which cloud tenants could better leverage IaaS clouds.

|'''Technical, Economical and Ethical Issues with Net Neutrality -- or the Lack thereof''' ''(Assigned to Uche Oteh)''

Net neutrality refers to current state of the internet, where all data should be treated equally, without discrimination of specific flows or entities.
However, this state has recently been questioned by several providers and government authorities.
In this topic, the reasons and motivations for and against net neutrality should be investigated,
with a focus on the technical implementations and outcomes of an Internet, where neutrality is no longer given.

|'''Advances in Networking towards The Internet of Things''' ''(Assigned to Giovanna Parra)''

The idea of Internet of Things -- or IoT -- is to interconnect uniquely identifiable embedded computing devices within the existing Internet infrastructure [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_of_Things].
Over 25 billion of such devices are expected to be connected within the IoT by 2020.
The IETF has recently released a protocol suite to enable communication between the devices.
In this topic, the most recent advances towards the IoT should be investigated to obtain a clear overview of where both research and industry are currently standing and whether or not the 2020 estimation is still valid.

| '''Semantic Matching in Search'''
Relevance is the most important factor to assure users’ satisfaction in search and the success of a search engine heavily depends on its performance on relevance. It has been observed that most of the dissatisfaction cases in relevance are due to term mismatch between queries and documents (e.g., query “ny times” does not match well with a document only containing “New York Times”), because term matching, i.e., the bag-of-words approach, still functions as the main mechanism of modern search engines.

'''Understanding Modern Web Service Deployment in EC2 and Azure'''

Today, web services are increasingly being deployed in infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) clouds such as Amazon EC2, Windows Azure, and Rackspace. Hence, it is critical to understand the usage patterns and identiﬁes ways in which cloud tenants could better leverage IaaS clouds.

|'''Technical, Economical and Ethical Issues with Net Neutrality -- or the Lack thereof''' ''(Assigned to Uche Oteh)''

Net neutrality refers to current state of the internet, where all data should be treated equally, without discrimination of specific flows or entities.
However, this state has recently been questioned by several providers and government authorities.
In this topic, the reasons and motivations for and against net neutrality should be investigated,
with a focus on the technical implementations and outcomes of an Internet, where neutrality is no longer given.

|'''Advances in Networking towards The Internet of Things''' ''(Assigned to Giovanna Parra)''

The idea of Internet of Things -- or IoT -- is to interconnect uniquely identifiable embedded computing devices within the existing Internet infrastructure [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_of_Things].
Over 25 billion of such devices are expected to be connected within the IoT by 2020.
The IETF has recently released a protocol suite to enable communication between the devices.
In this topic, the most recent advances towards the IoT should be investigated to obtain a clear overview of where both research and industry are currently standing and whether or not the 2020 estimation is still valid.

| '''Semantic Matching in Search'''
Relevance is the most important factor to assure users’ satisfaction in search and the success of a search engine heavily depends on its performance on relevance. It has been observed that most of the dissatisfaction cases in relevance are due to term mismatch between queries and documents (e.g., query “ny times” does not match well with a document only containing “New York Times”), because term matching, i.e., the bag-of-words approach, still functions as the main mechanism of modern search engines.

| '''Use Skype to make emergency (112) calls: What are the challenges and means to solve this?''' '' Assigned to Guri Singh''‎

Currently, emergency service providers are not equiped to handle VoIP calls and receive voice/video/text messages. There has been quite some work done in this area and the aim of this study is to get a clear picture of how long will it be before we can make VoIP based emergency calls and what are the challenges.

|'''Task cooperation or offloading in Mobile Device Cloud''' ''(Assigned to Tare Pranay)''

With the explosion of personal mobile devices, computation offloading or task cooperation through opportunistic networks of nearby
devices is increasingly gaining attainions, to support sophisticated mobile applications with limited resources (e.g., processing ability, energy and even user knowledge).
Such service model is called a mobile device cloud. In this topic, we aim to investigate the state-of-art research literature, and identify the key problem challenges and holistic technical roadmap.

|'''On the recognition of emotion from Social media and sensor readings'''

Recently, there are multiple efforts to extend the capabilities of data analysis tools e.g. for social media or wearable systems towards the recognition of sentiment - human emotions and internal states.
Examples are studies on emotion contagion on facebook, or the introduction of wearable technology capable to capture sentiment like prominently glasses or watches.
The student shall give a structured overview on recent advances in this field.

|'''Spark: the state of the art engine for big data processing ''' ''(Assigned to Ramaninder Singh Jhajj)''

Due to the increasing popularity of multi-core CPU and computer cluster, many ideas, techniques and software on leveraging this new computing platform have been developed in recent few years. Since this is a huge area, in this topic, students are only required to investigate a few specific ideas and techniques, such as MapReduce, Hadoop and Spark. We hope that students can understand and teach the audience the basic ideas and get hands dirty on some big data processing tools.

==Workﬂow==

=== 1. Select a topic ===
A student picks a topic to work on. You can pick up a topic and start working '''at any time'''. However, make sure to notify [http://user.informatik.uni-goettingen.de/~dkoll David] and the advisor of the topic before starting to work.

=== 2. Get your work advised ===
For each topic, a topic advisor is available. He is your contact person for questions and problems regarding the topic. He supports you as much as you want, so please do not hesitate to approach him for any advice or with any questions you might have. It is recommended (and not mandatory) that you schedule a face-to-face meeting with him right after you select your topic.

=== 3. Approach your topic ===

* By choosing a topic, you choose the direction of elaboration.
* You may work in different styles, for example:
** Survey: Basic introduction, overview of the ﬁeld; general problems, methods, approaches.
** Specific problem: Detailed introduction, details about the problem and the solution.
* You should include your own thoughts on your topic.

=== 4. Prepare your presentation ===

* Present your topic to the audience (in English).
* 20 minutes of presentation followed by 10 minutes discussion.

You present your topic to an audience of students and other interested people (usually the [http://www.net.informatik.uni-goettingen.de/ NET] group members). Your presentation should give the audience a general idea of the topic and highlight interesting problems and solutions. You have 20 minutes to present your topic followed by 10 minutes of discussion. You must keep it within the time limit. Please send your slides to your topic advisor for any possible feedback before your presentation.

Hints for preparing the presentation:
* 20 minutes are too short to present a topic fully.
* It is alright to focus just on one certain important aspect.
* Limit the introduction of basics (5 min.).
* Make sure to ﬁnish in time.

Suggestions for preparing the slides:
* No more than 20 pages/slides.
* Get your audiences to quickly understand the general idea.
* Figures, tables and animations are better than sentences.
* Summary of the topic: thinking in your own words.

=== 5. Write your report ===

* Present the problem with its background.
* Detail the approaches, techniques, methods to handle the problem.
* Evaluate and assess those approaches (e.g., pros and cons).
* Give a short outlook on potential future developments.

The report must be written in English according to common guidelines for scientific papers, between 12 and 15 pages of content (excluding the table of content, bibliography, etc.).

=== 6. Course schedule===

|'''Technical, Economical and Ethical Issues with Net Neutrality -- or the Lack thereof''' ''(Assigned to Uche Oteh)''

Net neutrality refers to current state of the internet, where all data should be treated equally, without discrimination of specific flows or entities.
However, this state has recently been questioned by several providers and government authorities.
In this topic, the reasons and motivations for and against net neutrality should be investigated,
with a focus on the technical implementations and outcomes of an Internet, where neutrality is no longer given.

|'''Advances in Networking towards The Internet of Things''' ''(Assigned to Giovanna Parra)''

The idea of Internet of Things -- or IoT -- is to interconnect uniquely identifiable embedded computing devices within the existing Internet infrastructure [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_of_Things].
Over 25 billion of such devices are expected to be connected within the IoT by 2020.
The IETF has recently released a protocol suite to enable communication between the devices.
In this topic, the most recent advances towards the IoT should be investigated to obtain a clear overview of where both research and industry are currently standing and whether or not the 2020 estimation is still valid.

| '''Semantic Matching in Search'''
Relevance is the most important factor to assure users’ satisfaction in search and the success of a search engine heavily depends on its performance on relevance. It has been observed that most of the dissatisfaction cases in relevance are due to term mismatch between queries and documents (e.g., query “ny times” does not match well with a document only containing “New York Times”), because term matching, i.e., the bag-of-words approach, still functions as the main mechanism of modern search engines.

Net neutrality refers to current state of the internet, where all data should be treated equally, without discrimination of specific flows or entities.
However, this state has recently been questioned by several providers and government authorities.
In this topic, the reasons and motivations for and against net neutrality should be investigated,

Over 25 billion of such devices are expected to be connected within the IoT by 2020.
The IETF has recently released a protocol suite to enable communication between the devices.
In this topic, the most recent advances towards the IoT should be investigated to obtain a clear overview of where both research and industry are currently standing and whether or not the 2020 estimation is still valid.

|'''Spark: the state of the art engine for big data processing ''' ''(Assigned to Ramaninder Singh Jhajj)''

Due to the increasing popularity of multi-core CPU and computer cluster, many ideas, techniques and software on leveraging this new computing platform have been developed in recent few years. Since this is a huge area, in this topic, students are only required to investigate a few specific ideas and techniques, such as MapReduce, Hadoop and Spark. We hope that students can understand and teach the audience the basic ideas and get hands dirty on some big data processing tools.

'''Technical, Economical and Ethical Issues with Net Neutrality -- or the Lack thereof''' ''(Assigned to Uche Oteh)''

Net neutrality refers to current state of the internet, where all data should be treated equally, without discrimination of specific flows or entities.
However, this state has recently been questioned by several providers and government authorities.
In this topic, the reasons and motivations for and against net neutrality should be investigated,
with a focus on the technical implementations and outcomes of an Internet, where neutrality is no longer given.

|'''Advances in Networking towards The Internet of Things''' ''(Assigned to Giovanna Parra)''

The idea of Internet of Things -- or IoT -- is to interconnect uniquely identifiable embedded computing devices within the existing Internet infrastructure [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_of_Things].
Over 25 billion of such devices are expected to be connected within the IoT by 2020.
The IETF has recently released a protocol suite to enable communication between the devices.
In this topic, the most recent advances towards the IoT should be investigated to obtain a clear overview of where both research and industry are currently standing and whether or not the 2020 estimation is still valid.

| '''Semantic Matching in Search'''
Relevance is the most important factor to assure users’ satisfaction in search and the success of a search engine heavily depends on its performance on relevance. It has been observed that most of the dissatisfaction cases in relevance are due to term mismatch between queries and documents (e.g., query “ny times” does not match well with a document only containing “New York Times”), because term matching, i.e., the bag-of-words approach, still functions as the main mechanism of modern search engines.

'''Technical, Economical and Ethical Issues with Net Neutrality -- or the Lack thereof''' ''(Assigned to Uche Oteh)''

Net neutrality refers to current state of the internet, where all data should be treated equally, without discrimination of specific flows or entities.
However, this state has recently been questioned by several providers and government authorities.
In this topic, the reasons and motivations for and against net neutrality should be investigated,
with a focus on the technical implementations and outcomes of an Internet, where neutrality is no longer given.

|'''Advances in Networking towards The Internet of Things''' ''(Assigned to Giovanna Parra)''

The idea of Internet of Things -- or IoT -- is to interconnect uniquely identifiable embedded computing devices within the existing Internet infrastructure [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_of_Things].
Over 25 billion of such devices are expected to be connected within the IoT by 2020.
The IETF has recently released a protocol suite to enable communication between the devices.
In this topic, the most recent advances towards the IoT should be investigated to obtain a clear overview of where both research and industry are currently standing and whether or not the 2020 estimation is still valid.

| '''Semantic Matching in Search'''
Relevance is the most important factor to assure users’ satisfaction in search and the success of a search engine heavily depends on its performance on relevance. It has been observed that most of the dissatisfaction cases in relevance are due to term mismatch between queries and documents (e.g., query “ny times” does not match well with a document only containing “New York Times”), because term matching, i.e., the bag-of-words approach, still functions as the main mechanism of modern search engines.

devices is increasingly gaining attainions, to support sophisticated mobile applications with limited resources (e.g., processing ability, energy and even user knowledge).
Such service model is called a mobile device cloud. In this topic, we aim to investigate the state-of-art research literature, and identify the key problem challenges and holistic technical roadmap.

| <strike>Information Centric Networking</strike> (''Assigned to'' Eeran Maiti)
Information Centric Networking (ICN) is a new paradigm to replace the IP location-based communication model and to put '''data''' at the center. A better and faster content distribution, improved privacy, integrated cryptography and easy P2P communication are among the new possibities this model introduce. On the other hand problems like efficiency and scalability of the name-based routing, support of existing applications and new ones and the possibility to actually deploy this technology are still open and actively discussed, making ICN one of the most active research field in networking. NDN is a prominent ICN proposal and implementation.

By choosing this topic you will gain a general knowledge of the architecture proposed by the NDN researchers and will have to gain insight into the problems and advantages introduced by '''named-based routing'''.

|-
| <strike>ICN in Delay Tolerant Networks</strike> (''Assigned to'' Christopher Menke)
Delay Tolerant Networks (DTNs) are networks deployed in particularly challenging scenarios, where the absence of a persistent end-to-end path makes the architectures used in wired and ad-hoc networks impractical. DNTs are normally characterized by a high and unpredictable node mobility. The great advantage of DTN is that they require little or no infrastructure to work (i.e. no wired network, no Access Points, ...). Many researches envision the use of DTN for many different tasks, including bringing communication to remote/rural areas, interplanetary communication, decentralized communication among smartphones/mobile devices, emergency/disaster situations, etc.

The suggested readings will give you an overview of the most problematic aspects of DTNs and of the most prominent solutions proposed.

==Workﬂow==

=== 1. Select a topic ===
A student picks a topic to work on. You can pick up a topic and start working at any time. Please contact the topic advisor for the initial information and literature about the topic.

=== 2. Get your work advised ===
For each topic, a topic advisor is available. He is your contact person for questions and problems regarding the topic. He supports you as much as you want, so please do not hesitate to approach him for any advice or with any questions you might have. It is recommended that you schedule a face-to-face meeting with him right after you select your topic.

=== 3. Approach your topic ===

* By choosing a topic, you choose the direction of elaboration.
* You may work in different styles, for example:
** Survey: Basic introduction, overview of the ﬁeld; general problems, methods, approaches.
** Specific problem: Detailed introduction, details about the problem and the solution.
* You should include your own thoughts on your topic.

=== 4. Prepare your presentation ===

* Present your topic to the audience (in English).
* 20 minutes of presentation followed by 10 minutes discussion.

You present your topic to an audience of students and other interested people (usually the [http://www.net.informatik.uni-goettingen.de/ NET] group members). Your presentation should give the audience a general idea of the topic and highlight interesting problems and solutions. You have 20 minutes to present your topic followed by 10 minutes of discussion. You must keep it within the time limit. Please send your slides to your topic advisor for any possible feedback before your presentation.

Hints for preparing the presentation:
* 20 minutes are too short to present a topic fully.
* It is alright to focus just on one certain important aspect.
* Limit the introduction of basics (5 min.).
* Make sure to ﬁnish in time.

Suggestions for preparing the slides:
* No more than 20 pages/slides.
* Get your audiences to quickly understand the general idea.
* Figures, tables and animations are better than sentences.
* Summary of the topic: thinking in your own words.

=== 5. Write your report ===

* Present the problem with its background.
* Detail the approaches, techniques, methods to handle the problem.
* Evaluate and assess those approaches (e.g., pros and cons).
* Give a short outlook on potential future developments.

The report must be written in English according to common guidelines for scientific papers, between 12 and 15 pages of content (excluding the table of content, bibliography, etc.).

=== 6. Course schedule===
There are no regular meetings or classes for this course. The work is expected to be done by yourself with the assistance of your topic advisor. Please follow the [[#Schedule]] to take appropriate actions.

Information Centric Networking (ICN) is a new paradigm to replace the IP location-based communication model and to put '''data''' at the center. A better and faster content distribution, improved privacy, integrated cryptography and easy P2P communication are among the new possibities this model introduce. On the other hand problems like efficiency and scalability of the name-based routing, support of existing applications and new ones and the possibility to actually deploy this technology are still open and actively discussed, making ICN one of the most active research field in networking. NDN is a prominent ICN proposal and implementation.

By choosing this topic you will gain a general knowledge of the architecture proposed by the NDN researchers and will have to gain insight into the problems and advantages introduced by '''named-based routing'''.

Delay Tolerant Networks (DTNs) are networks deployed in particularly challenging scenarios, where the absence of a persistent end-to-end path makes the architectures used in wired and ad-hoc networks impractical. DNTs are normally characterized by a high and unpredictable node mobility. The great advantage of DTN is that they require little or no infrastructure to work (i.e. no wired network, no Access Points, ...). Many researches envision the use of DTN for many different tasks, including bringing communication to remote/rural areas, interplanetary communication, decentralized communication among smartphones/mobile devices, emergency/disaster situations, etc.

The suggested readings will give you an overview of the most problematic aspects of DTNs and of the most prominent solutions proposed.

Information Centric Networking (ICN) is a new paradigm to replace the IP location-based communication model and to put '''data''' at the center. A better and faster content distribution, improved privacy, integrated cryptography and easy P2P communication are among the new possibities this model introduce. On the other hand problems like efficiency and scalability of the name-based routing, support of existing applications and new ones and the possibility to actually deploy this technology are still open and actively discussed, making ICN one of the most active research field in networking. NDN is a prominent ICN proposal and implementation.

By choosing this topic you will gain a general knowledge of the architecture proposed by the NDN researchers and will have to gain insight into the problems and advantages introduced by '''named-based routing'''.

Delay Tolerant Networks (DTNs) are networks deployed in particularly challenging scenarios, where the absence of a persistent end-to-end path makes the architectures used in wired and ad-hoc networks impractical. DNTs are normally characterized by a high and unpredictable node mobility. The great advantage of DTN is that they require little or no infrastructure to work (i.e. no wired network, no Access Points, ...). Many researches envision the use of DTN for many different tasks, including bringing communication to remote/rural areas, interplanetary communication, decentralized communication among smartphones/mobile devices, emergency/disaster situations, etc.

The suggested readings will give you an overview of the most problematic aspects of DTNs and of the most prominent solutions proposed.

==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 25 minutes to present your topic followed by 10 minutes of discussion. You must keep within the time limit of 35 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!

Suggestions for preparing the slides:
* No more than 20 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.
** Detail available approaches, techniques, methodologies to deal with this problem. What are their properties, advantages and drawbacks.
** Evaluate and assess those approaches.
** Give a short outlook on potential future developments.
* 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.'''

|'''Information Centric Networking'''
Information Centric Networking (ICN) is a new paradigm to replace the IP location-based communication model and to put '''data''' at the center. A better and faster content distribution, improved privacy, integrated cryptography and easy P2P communication are among the new possibities this model introduce. On the other hand problems like efficiency and scalability of the name-based routing, support of existing applications and new ones and the possibility to actually deploy this technology are still open and actively discussed, making ICN one of the most active research field in networking. NDN is a prominent ICN proposal and implementation.

By choosing this topic you will gain a general knowledge of the architecture proposed by the NDN researchers and will have to gain insight into the problems and advantages introduced by '''named-based routing'''.

|-
|'''ICN in Delay Tolerant Networks'''
Delay Tolerant Networks (DTNs) are networks deployed in particularly challenging scenarios, where the absence of a persistent end-to-end path makes the architectures used in wired and ad-hoc networks impractical. DNTs are normally characterized by a high and unpredictable node mobility. The great advantage of DTN is that they require little or no infrastructure to work (i.e. no wired network, no Access Points, ...). Many researches envision the use of DTN for many different tasks, including bringing communication to remote/rural areas, interplanetary communication, decentralized communication among smartphones/mobile devices, emergency/disaster situations, etc.

The suggested readings will give you an overview of the most problematic aspects of DTNs and of the most prominent solutions proposed.

==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 25 minutes to present your topic followed by 10 minutes of discussion. You must keep within the time limit of 35 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!

Suggestions for preparing the slides:
* No more than 20 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.
** Detail available approaches, techniques, methodologies to deal with this problem. What are their properties, advantages and drawbacks.
** Evaluate and assess those approaches.
** Give a short outlook on potential future developments.
* 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.

=== 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.
* 20~25 minutes of presentation followed by 5~10 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.

* It is alright to focus just on one certain important aspect.
* Make sure to ﬁnish in time!

Suggestions for preparing the slides:
* No more than 20 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.
** Detail available approaches, techniques, methodologies to deal with this problem. What are their properties, advantages and drawbacks.
** Evaluate and assess those approaches.
** Give a short outlook on potential future developments.
* 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.

'''NDN - A content centric networking proposal'''

Content Centric Networking (CCN) is a new ambitious proposal to replace the IP protocol. A better and faster content distribution, improved privacy, integrated cryptography and easy P2P communication are among the key elements of this architecture. On the other hand problems like efficiency and scalability of the name-based routing, support of existing application and new ones and the possibility to actually deploy this technology are still open and actively discussed, making CCN one of the most active research field in networking.

By choosing this topic you will gain a general knowledge of the architecture proposed by the NDN researchers and will have to gain insight into one of the problems like routing or security, or solutions (i.e. applications on top of NDN).

'''Software defined networking for an environment-reactive system behaviour'''

With the advancement of Software Defined Networking (SDN) research over recent years, network components have become accessible and controllable from the application layer.
With this flexibility, a network could now react on environmental stimuli.
Therefore, it might be possible to configure network parameters spontaneously
* to adapt to instantaneous needs
* for proactive network behaviour
* to maintain network operation in the case of disaster
* ...
The student will summarise the chances and challenges of Software Defined Networking with special focus on environment-reactive behaviour.
