S-38.030 Postgraduate Course on Networking Technology

Requisites

To successfully pass the course and achieve 4 credits, you should:

Write a paper on a subject, the paper totaling in approximately two-coloumn, single-spaced around 10 pages according to the styleguide. The content of the paper is strictly supervised. Paper grading will be done based on quality, not on the quantity!
Prepare 3~5 questions and your model solutions on the basis of each paper. Please submit them directly to to Prof. Kantola before the seminar.
Give a presentation (25-30 minutes + 15-20 minutes for discussion = 45 minutes) for your paper. Length of presentations will be adjusted depending on the number of students.
Act as an opponent to two of the presentations. The presenter will provide you with his/her paper in advance. You will need to prepare several questions and your duty in this presentation is to keep the discussion alive and make the questions clear. You should send your questions and model solutions to the professor at least one day before the presentation begins. You will also need to grade the presentation and the paper. The grading form may be obtained here in .pdf format. This form is to be used only by the opponent.
Pass the examination. All questions of the examination will be derived from the seminar papers and/or the course book. This point will be clearly announced later.

The paper has to be delivered to Prof. Kantola no later than 3.4. The delivery of the paper to the opponent remains to be separately negotiated between the opponent and you. You are also required to deliver your paper in electronic format: preferably in PDF or MS Word documents to Prof. Kantola and the course assistant.

Your paper should cover its topic from the following viewpoints. You may apply them to your subject where appropriate (The ratio of each viewpoint is approximately given) :

Introduction (10%)
Problem and motivation
The algorithmic solution and protocol that is proposed
Evaluation of the solution based on simulation results, prototype experience reports, own tests or simulations etc. Criteria for evaluation include complexity, performance, scalability, stability, QoS impact etc.
Standardisation status: RFCs, Drafts, maturity and availability of the solution (open source, commercial implementations)
Application of the solution so far and future potential, applicability of the solution in other areas
Conclusions (10%)

Note, you may not be limited within the above viewpoints. Try to cover any valuable viewpoints which will enrich your paper.

Your final grade will be determined by Prof. Kantola based on

The opponents grading of your paper and presentation, grading form available here in .pdf format.
