A new generation of Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) will make its appearance in the market in the forthcoming years based on the amendments to the IEEE 802.11 standards that have recently been approved or are under development. Examples of the most expected ones are IEEE 802.11aa (Robust Audio Video Transport Streaming), IEEE 802.11ac (Very-high throughput at < 6 GHz), IEEE 802.11af (TV White Spaces) and IEEE 802.11ah (Machine-to-Machine communications) specifications. You should investigate the latest advances made in WiFi and in its usage to support other type of networks as LTE and G5.

| '''Towards SDN and NFV Fault Management and High Availability (assigned to Shakik Ahmed Chowdhury)'''
Network Function Virtualisation (NFV), is gaining rapid momentum, but are they reliable? can they conform with the Telecom operators latency and availability requirements of Fine Nines or Six Nines? The focus of this work is to first study and understand the concerns with NFV in terms of their failures, what amount of availability can they support. Second, study the state-of-the-art in terms of techniques that have been provided in the Cloud and Data Center networks for the traditional Virtual Machine based approaches and make the clear distinction of what aspects can and cannot be adapted? and what are the characteristics of NFV that make them differ from traditional VM based solutions? and aspects and solutions that can be adapted to achieve scalability, efficiency, and reliability in the NFV environments.

|'''ICN - Information Centric Networking (assigned to Mian Athar Naqash, Ahmed Towfique, Fabio Sortino and Ander Schiavella)'''


Content Centric Networking (CCN) is a new ambitious proposal to replace the IP protocol. A better and faster content distribution, improved privacy, integrated cryptography and easy P2P communication are among the key elements of this architecture. On the other hand problems like efficiency and scalability of the name-based routing, support of existing application and new ones and the possibility to actually deploy this technology are still open and actively discussed, making CCN one of the most active research field in networking.

| '''Learning from Imbalanced Data (assigned to Oleh Astappiev)''' 
When building and training classifiers for classification problems, one commonly encountered problem is that of imbalanced data. For instance, in the case of a binary classifier, this means that one class is hugely overrepresented in the data available. Training classifiers for this kind of datasets has been a problem for some time. In this work, your task is to i) precisely introduce the imbalanced data problem, ii) discuss the state of the art of approaches for mitigating this problem (both from the perspective of learning algorithms and data manipulation techniques) and iii) find out what issues still remain open until today. Note that this topic requires a background in data science, and in particular in classification algorithms. Also, this topic requires a comparatively high reading effort.

| '''Deep Learning and its (possible) flaws  (assigned to Sven Voigt)''' 
One recent trend in machine learning is 'deep learning', where neural networks are employed for solving a wide range of problems. One prominent example of such problems is image classification. While neural networks are in fact delivering sometimes great results, they may also have some weak spots. In this work, your task is to i) make yourself familiar with neural networks, ii) discuss the state-of-the-art in image classification, and iii) to investigate some possible flaws in neural networks. Note that for this topic a background in data science, and in particular in classification algorithms, is strongly recommended. Also, this topic requires a comparatively high reading effort.

| '''Tiered Pricing in Internet (assigned to Bhabajeet Kalita)'''
ISPs sell transit connectivity bulk based on aggregate internet usage which is popularly known as blended rate pricing. Though blended rate pricing is simple, it is inefficient especially wrt resource allocation. Tiered pricing is one of the alternative. The goal of this work is to understand motivation for tiered pricing and discuss state-of-the-art in tiered pricing.
