Course:Advanced Network Computing

Introduction

This course will introduce recent advances in network computing. Specifically, it contains four sections: SDN/NFV, Edge Computing, IoT, and Network Big Data. In SDN/NFV, we mainly talk about two topics: Consistent update, traffic engineering and VNF embedding. In Edge Computing, we mainly talk about the topics of deployment and task offloading. In Internet-of-Things, we mainly talk about the topics of low-power protocols, long-range IoT and IoT applications/systems. In Network Big Data, we mainly talk about the topics of wireless sensing and various applications based on smartphone big data.

Requirements (2020)

Final score = 40% x class presentation+ 60% x exam.

Class presentation

The class score comes from the class presentations.

• Each student is required to participate in a presentation (15 min) of a research paper selected from the top conferences/journals in network computing.
• Each presentation allows up to four presenters.
• The fourth presenter will have 10 points fewer than the first three members.
• You may also choose to serve as a session chair so that you do not have to present papers. The session chair will share the same score with the highest score of the session papers.

Paper selection

Conference/journal rankings:

• Class A: SigComm/INFOCOM/MobiCom/ToN/TMC/TPDS/JSAC/TC/NSDI/
• Class B: MobiHoc/MobiSys/SenSys/ICDCS/IPSN/ICNP/IWQoS/other IEEEACM Transactions
• Class C: SECON/MASS/DCOSS/Posters from Class-A conferences

If you have no idea after going through the above list, you may select papers from the list.
