Period: Spring semester 2010

Time: Wednesday 10-12

Place: TBD

Abstract

The Internet has drastically changed from the first days it was used by the public. Such changes, many of them very hard to predict 10 years ago, were driven by either technology or users’ needs and interests. While the “pure” WEB + email is still an important part of the internet, many other applications/technologies came into effect. These include: Peer-to-Peer (P2P) networks, Wireless Networks, Delay-Tolerant networks and Social Networks.  Most of these are very popular these days and take a large and increasing share of the internet traffic. They further seem to have strong impact on the future of the internet. The purpose of this seminar is to cover topics taken from this reach domain as to better understand the design and operation of these systems.

Prerequisites: Communications networks 0368-3030-01, or equivalent background is highly preferred/recommended.
