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.

Paper selection

Each student is required to participate in a presentation (15-20min) of a research paper selected from the top conferences/journals in network computing. Each presentation allows up to three presenters. The third presenter will have 10 points fewer than the first two members.

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 gone through the above list, you may select papers from the list.

Time slots

We have in total 32 time slots for presentations. Please send a mail to "anc_course@mobinets.org" and apply for a specific slot. The format of the mail is shown as below.

Exam

The exam will contain two types of questions: Concept understanding (7 questions) and problem-solving (2 questions). Don't worry if you do not major in computer networks because all questions will be selected from class tests (answers will be discussed in class).

Bonus system

You have chance to get bonus points before the presentations and the final exam. Here are the ways how you get bonus:

Select papers from top venues.

We encourage all students to select papers from the Class-A conferences and journals.

A Class-A paper gets 4 bonus points for presentation.
A Class-B paper gets 2 bonus points for presentation.

Select earlier time slots

As most of you have no experience of public presentations, I believe pioneers will take more pressure. As a result, the earlier you do the presentation, more bonus you get. Specifically,

time slots 1-6 get 3 bonus points
time slots 9-14 get 2 bonus points
time slots 7,8, 17-22 get 1 bonus points

Raise questions to presenters

To encourage the discussion of the presentation, each raised question will be given a 2 points bonus. Each student can gain 6 bonus (three questions) points at most.

Slides

The slides will be sent to all students in class. Note: the questions and answers will not be shared.
