EP272V Network Analytics and Data-Driven Engineering 7.5 credits

Administer About course

This project course introduces students to data-driven engineering of networks and cloud systems. Using methods from statistical learning, students will develop and evaluate, for instance, models for prediction and forecasting of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and for anomaly detection. The models will be fitted and evaluated using testbed measurements or traces from operational systems. The functions built from these models are designed for real-time execution. To develop the models, tools and packages from data science will be used, e.g., Jupyter notebook, scikit-learn, TensorFlow. The course is structured as two consecutive project blocks. Each block starts with introductory lectures that give background and discuss concepts for the specific project, followed by project execution, writing of a report, and interview.

Content and learning outcomes

Course contents

This is a project course, where the students carry out analysis projects individually or in small groups. The projects use data from real systems, for example operational data from networks or computer clouds.

The course includes:

  • initial lessons about selected machine learning techniques that are used in the projects
  • introduction to the tools that should be used
  • projects completed by the students based on message boards and project meetings
  • preparations before the students' project reports.

The project tasks may be changed from one year to another.

Intended learning outcomes

After passing the course, the student should be able to:

  • model an assignment for network analysis
  • pre-process data and design models for prediction based on machine learning techniques and tools
  • evaluate, interpret and apply the results when possible
  • write report that describes and explains project result.
