Abstract

In this seminar, students review, present, and discuss recent research papers on computer networks, with a focus on sustainable networking.

Objective

By the end of the seminar, students will be able to 1. Read efficiently and assess critically scientific papers; 2. Discuss technical topics with an audience of peers; 3. Discuss the challenges of sustainable computing and networking.

Content

**The seminar will only start on the semester week 2 (Thurs. 29.02)** The seminar will start with one introductory session. From the third week, participating students will start reviewing, presenting, and discussing research papers. Two papers will be discussed every two weeks. Each student must choose a paper from a given list, prepare and give a (short) presentation on the paper's topic, and lead the follow-up discussion. In addition, all students submit one (short) review for the two papers presented every week in class. Students will be evaluated based on their reviews, their presentation, and their leadership of and participation in the paper discussions. The exact course content varies over time.
