Intended audience
Graduate students in electrical engineering, computer engineering,
or computer science
Course goal
The course focuses on techniques and issues associated with
contemporary networks, that is, advanced network architectures, mobile
and wireless networks, and multimedia information and networking.
Important keywords: traffic analysis, simulation, routing, quality of
service.
The course goal is to provide the course participants with
sufficient knowledge of theory and tools in order to do a project
involving the analysis, simulation and reporting of a research-relevant
networking issue.
The participants will be provided with the opportunity to develop
skills necessary to conduct academic research in the field of computer
networks.
Prerequisites
Basic course in computer networks, such as TDTS41 Computer Networks.
