Further Information: offizielle Modulbeschreibung der Ausbildungskommission (german)

During the seminar students acquire scientific knowledge in a small topic on their own, echo it as a handout, and give a talk about the learned. Dealing with original scientific literature as well as practice and preparation of the professional talks are the key benefits for the students.

The participation in the seminar includes continuous attendance and active participation, an accepted seminar paper, and its presentation. The seminar „Network Architectures" is offered at least once every two years in one of the following variants:

Focus Measurement: This seminar deals with recent findings and scientific research papers concerning Internet measurements. In general these topics are measuring and analyzing special characteristics (e.g., throughput, delay, jitter, RTTs, topology) of Internet traffic.

Focus Routing: This seminar deals with recent findings and scientific research papers concerning Internet routing. Topics range from improvement of routing algorithms over topology detection and emulation to traffic engineering or secure routing.

Compulsory: From the following courses, one must be completed.
