The course addresses current issues concerning the Internet network. The topical area varies year to year covering research questions in Internet network architectures, protocols, network middleware, application, services, and service management. In this seminar, students will write a seminar paper during the spring according to a given schedule. Each student has a personal tutor who guides the writing and the topic. The students present their papers in a two day conference in the beginning of May. The language of this course is English.
During spring 2008 the seminar on Internetworking will focus on services and social networking on the Internet.
We are currently experiencing an interesting social networking era through the enormously popular media services in the Internet like YouTube, Flickr, Facebook and peer-to-peer content delivery systems among others. This is just the start, many more will come in the next years. We anticipate, that these services and social networking in general will emerge also into to the mobile environment. As examples, refer to:
These services must be usable and available around the clock, and various security features are needed depending on the service and networking environment. Designing systems that can manage this is a major challenge for the future. User experience is of outmost importance when new services are developed and deployed. Naturally, the technical basis must be in good shape in order to enable the services to run smoothly.In this seminar we will address services and social networking with a wide range of topic areas. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following.
Responsible teacher of the course is professor Antti Ylä-Jääski, and Rafiqul Chowdhury acts as an assistant of the course. Please, use course email address when contacting the teachers.
