WEB Algorithms (in English)
Last Updated: 2026-02-05 14:55:12
Objective
Understanding of the main algorithmic issues and techniques related to the WEB.
Content
We consider algorithmic issues related to all layers (physical, link-level, network, peer-to-peer) of the Internet. The typical tasks are for example routing and load balancing. The aim of the algorithms are good solutions, robustness, and efficiency. This is done either by central or distributed algorithms, or even by mechanisms for selfish agents. The focus of the course is not to cover the breadth of all these aspects, but rather to highlight some important algorithmic ideas that supposedly will remain useful for the next generation(s) Internet.
