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 comprises the following components:
- Weekly Presentation + Weekly Paper Reading and Discussion 40%
- Final Presentation 30%
- Final Report 30%
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 on Wedesday). => the review form is available at [Paper_Review_Form_ATCN_WS201112.doc]
