Learning outcomes

On completion of the course, the student should be able to:

• analyse and evaluate an issue within one area i computer networks
• compile and analyse information gathered from scientific literature, and synthesise and present this

Content

The students will apply individually chosen theories from a research area in computer networks. The theories will be of the type that traditionally are applied to advanced computer network courses, and they will be applied in a practical project and a written report, or possibly only in a more substantial report.

Instruction

For the theoretical part, the teaching consists of a small number of lectures and seminars. Other than that, the teaching mostly consists of supervision of project groups and essay teams.
