==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 25%
* 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 [[http://user.informatik.uni-goettingen.de/~fu/Paper_Review_Form_ATCN_WS201112.doc Paper_Review_Form_ATCN_WS201112.doc]]
* During each weekly seminar, two participants are assigned for presenting the paper (each presentation lasts for ~20 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 ~10 minutes Q&A
