Course Overview
The purpose of this seminar is to discuss some advanced concepts in computer/mobile networking. 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 tier 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, three participants are assigned for presenting the papers (each presentation for ~20 minutes, plus ~10 minutes discussions). And the list of pros and cons is discussed by all the participants.
- In the end of the semester, everyone is requested to pick a topic and prepare:
- Final report: essay (12~15 pages) for a comprehensive literature survey of the chosen topic
- Final presentation: each presentation for ~30 minutes, plus ~10 minutes Q&A
