Seminar Goal
In this seminar, we will discuss recent trends in networking. The first session will review some core ideas behind the “traditional” layered network architecture. This architecture was designed over 40 years ago and has been very successful. Yet at the same time new issues and challenges in data networking have arisen: wireless communication and mobility, Internet of Things, cognitive networking, green computing/networking, etc. So each session in this seminar will focus on a specific area and discuss its impact on data networking. A session is typically based on two papers: a survey paper and a technical paper. The survey paper provides an overview of the issues, the technical paper discusses a specific proposed solution to one of the problems discussed in the survey. Each session will have a presenter, preparing and presenting a talk. This talk should be based on the provided papers (or others you may want to use). The expectation is that all seminar participants will have read the papers ahead of time, so the presenter can assume a certain amount of general knowledge. The presentation will then be followed by a general discussion on the issue(s) raised.
1. Intro to the topic (definition, high-level overhead, …)
· Use survey papers/do your own research
2. Why/how would that change networking (generally speaking)
3. Discuss a specific technical topic, based on assigned paper
· What do the authors propose?
· What is the key contribution?
· Your opinion/evaluation of the work
4. Lead discussion on topic: is this a new trend? Will it have major ramifications? Is it a re-packaging of some old topics and not likely to have any lasting impact?
Note: the topics/schedule are my suggestion. If you have an idea for an alternative topic, let me know and we can adjust the schedule accordingly. For example, I did not include Cloud Computing, Social Networking, Cellular Networks, ….
