Interplanetary Internet
(Seminar 2 SWS)

Instructor: Prof. Jens-Peter Redlich
Thursday, 13:15 - 14:45, RUD 25, Room 4.112

Computer Science Department
Systems Architecture Group

• Seminar, Praktische Informatik, Hauptstudium.
• 2h each week, over one semester (2 SWS).
• Target Audience: Students who are interested in "Challenged Internetworks" - Which (try to) apply Internet technology for inter-planetary communication and also in disparate environments on earth.

How the seminar will be conducted:

This is experimental; if it does not work, we'll switch back to the traditional model (see last semester's seminar on "peer-to-peer networks").

In addition to the technical (computer science) matter, it is the goal of this seminar that you learn to speak in front of an audience, learn to convey ideas effectively, learn to accept feedback from the audience and use it to improve your work (here: your presentation). The purpose of the "elevator presentation" is to (try to) express a great idea in a very short time - a skill that is certainly useful in your future professional life (it also gives your fellow student's an idea what's to come).

• Topics will be firmly assigned to interested students during the first meeting (April 20th)
• No meeting in 2nd week - you will be busy with homework :-)
• During the next two meetings, every student (presenter) gives a 15 minutes elevator presentation (summary preview) of his/her topic. The audience will provide feedback regarding style and content.
• In the following 8 weeks we'll have presentations; 1 or 2 peer meeting. Presentations will be evaluated by two members of the audience at the end of each class (Bewertungskriterien-Seminarvortrag.pdf).
• Presentations may be given in English or in German. All documents are in English (exceptions may be granted). A PowerPoint template can be obtained here .
• Presenters summarize their presentation and relevant discussion on the Seminar's WIKI page within 2 weeks.
• To obtain credits for this seminar, you are expected to attend regularily.

Prerequisites:

• Successful completion of PI-1,2,3.
• Completion of at least one seminar/lecture/project-seminar in the general area of "Communication Networks" (e.g., lectures offered by Dr. Sommer, Prof. Redlich).
• Advanced knowledge of the protocols IP (addressing, Internet Routing), and TCP (window-based congestion control). Basic knowledge of ad-hoc wireless mesh-networks.

Wiki:

• In addition to the seminar home page (this page), there is a WIKI for dynamically added content, e.g. contributions by students: http://sarwiki.informatik.hu-berlin.de/S2006-IPI .
