Course Overview

The purpose of this seminar is to discuss some advanced topics in Mobile computing, big data and social computing. This course is a theory-oriented but with practical implications research seminar (5 ECTS), 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 journals/conferences, like ToN, JSAC, TMC, TPDS, TKDD, TKDE, ACM Transactions on Social Computing, SIGCOMM, CoNEXT, SIGMETRICS, INFOCOM, USENIX ATC, MOBICOM, MOBIHOC, MobiSys, Middleware, WWW, KDD, WSDM, ICWSM, SIGIR, CIKM, ASONAM, CIKM, NIPS, AAAI, IJCAI, ICDM, PERCOM, UbiComp, CSCW, ICIS, or from practical systems and case studies.

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 for ~30 minutes). And the list of pros and cons is discussed by all the participants.
• In the middle of the semester, everyone is requested to pick a topic and prepare:
  • Final report: prepare an essay (8~9 pages, single column) for your chosen research topic, which contains a comprehensive literature survey + a detailed discussion of some key enabling technologies
  • Final presentation: each presentation for ~20 minutes, plus ~10 minutes Q&A
