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.

Reference books:

  • Software Defined Networks: A Comprehensive Approach, 2014
  • Network Function Virtualization: Ken Gray, Thomas D. Nadeau, 2016
  • Big Data and The Internet of Things, 2015
  • Edge Computing: From Hype to Reality, 2019

Requirements

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 make a presentation (15-20min) of a research paper selected from the top conferences/journals in network computing.

  • Class A: SigComm/INFOCOM/MobiCom/ToN/TMC/TPDS/JSAC/TC/SenSys/IWQoS
  • Class B: IPSN/NSDI/ICNP/MobiHoc/MobiSys/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 and problem-solving. Don't worry if you do not major in computer networks because all questions will be selected from class tests.

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 CCF-A conferences and journals.

  1. A CCF-A paper gets 4 bonus points for presentation.
  2. A CCF-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,

  1. time slots in 5th week get 3 bonus points
  2. time slots in 6th week get 2 bonus points
  3. time slots in 7th week get 1 bonus points

Slides

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