Course Overview

The purpose of this seminar is to discuss some advanced topics in computer networks. This course is a theory-oriented research seminar (5 ECTS, 2 SWS), held on a weekly base and comprising the following components:

• Weekly Presentation + Weekly Paper Reading and Discussion
• Final Presentation
• Final Report

The material in the seminar is mainly drawn from the research literature in top journals/conferences, like ToN,TMC, TPDS, SIGCOMM, SIGMETRICS, INFOCOM, MOBICOM, MOBIHOC, WWW, CoNEXT.

Requirements

• Each participant is required to read the assigned paper before the seminar and prepare the review of the paper, which should include the following parts:
  • Summary of the paper
  • Pros AND cons of the paper (your conclusion)
  • NOTE!! Every participant should provide the paper review BEFORE the seminar (23:59 Wednesday). => the review form is available at [Paper_Review_Form_ATCN_WS201112.doc]
• During each weekly seminar, one participant is assigned for presenting the paper (each presentation for ~30 minutes). And the list of pros and cons is discussed by all the participants.
• In the middle of the semester, everyone is requested to pick a topic and prepare:
  • Final report: Essay (5~6 pages, double columns, IEEE format) for your chosen research topic, which contains a comprehensive literature survey + a detailed discussion of some key enabling technologies
  • Final presentation: each presentation for ~20 minutes, plus ~5 minutes Q&A
