Course information

The current Internet architecture suffers from several well known maladies including unwanted traffic, congestion, and lack of transparency, routing security, and denial of service resistance in many critical parts of infrastructure. In this research seminar we will study work on architectural principles and specific architectural mechanisms applied to known problems. The goal of the course is to widen the perspective of the student on architectural issues beyond the existing Internet architecture.

Schedule

Location: HIIT, Spektri Pilotti, Metsänneidonkuja 4
Time Wednesdays 15:30-17:00 without break

Requirements and participations

The seminar will have two different requirements, one set for undergraduate students and the other one for graduate students. The undergraduate students will just read all papers and give 15 min presentations about the central ideas on two of the papers. While the graduate students would work on their own related work, writing a paper, and then giving a talk at a NetSec like full day seminar.

Passing requirements for undergrads (3 cr)

  1. 2 seminar presentations, 15 min each
  2. 70% participation to the weekly meetings
  3. participation to the full day meeting
  4. The students should send the slides for their presentations to the address T-110.7190tml.hut.fi at latest on the Friday before their presentation.

Passing requirements for grad students (6 cr)

  1. 2 seminar presentations, 15 min each
  2. 60% participation to the weekly meetings
  3. brief e-mail write ups of the papers of the weekly meetings missed, sent to the assistants
  4. writing the paper, 8-12 pages
  5. presenting own paper at the full day meeting
