Lecture Concept
The goal of the lecture is to introduce you to a modern Internet applications landscape and inspire discussion. The lecture focusses on aspects that apply to the Internet at large, viewed from an end-to-end perspective. The discussion may reveal that the reason for many Internet design decisions is not always a "technical optimality", but can be much more diverse.
Tutorials Contents
The tutorials focus around the performance evaluation of communication networks, from using specific networking applications and tools to aspects of data science to evaluate and interpret experimental data. The tutorials will introduce the programming language R and use it as a basis for data science.
All lecture and tutorial materials, as well as accompanying assignments, literature recommendations and discussions, will be avaible in the WueCampus course.
