Announcements

Due to the recent recommendations in the context of Covid-19, this course is scheduled to be held online. We plan to use some tools and platforms, e.g., zoom or DFNconf. Please register into studIP in advance. The registration deadline is at 23:59 pm on 11th April 2021. I will announce which tool will be used before our lectures start. Please contact me by email:adhatarao@cs.uni-goettingen.de if you have any questions.

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 30%
  • Final Presentation 35%
  • Final Report 35%

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 lasts for ~30 minutes) and the list of pros and cons are 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 lasts for ~20 minutes, plus ~5 minutes Q&A
