| 263-3900-00L | Communication Networks Seminar  Number of participants limited to 20. | 2 credits | 2S | A. Singla | |
| Abstract | We will study recent advances in computer networking by reading, presenting, and discussing research papers from recent iterations of the top conferences in the area, including NSDI, SIGCOMM, and CoNEXT. | ||||
| Learning objective | The objectives are (a) to understand the state-of-the-art in the field; (b) to learn to read, present and critique papers; (c) to engage in discussion and debate about research questions; and (d) to identify opportunities for new research. Students are expected to attend the entire seminar, choose a topic for presentation from a given list, make a presentation on that topic, and lead the discussion. Further, for each reading, every student needs to submit a review before the in-class discussion. Students are evaluated on their submitted reviews, their presentation and discussion leadership, and participation in seminar discussions. | ||||
