EP2400 Network Algorithms 7.5 credits

Nätverksalgoritmer

The course focuses on distributed algorithms that enable key functions in emerging technologies, such as p2p services, networked control systems and network management for next-generation networks. 

The course is organized around two project assignments, each of which focusing on a specific topic. The project modules are independent of each other. Each topic will be introduced based on papers from the research literature. A project assignment has a programming part (Java), and students must deliver a report on the project results.

Intended learning outcomes

The main goal is to expose studens to algorithms that are essential for new technologies, in form of projects with an experimental flavor.

Course main content

Example of topics, which can vary from year-to-year: ·         algorithms for data aggregation in networks and distributed systems·         algorithms for distributed search·         algorithms for distributed configurations·         algorithms for distributed trust and reputation schemes

Eligibility

For single course students: 120 credits and documented proficiency in English B or equivalent

Literature

All literature will be made available through the course site.

Examination

  • PRO1 - Project, 7.5, grade scale: A, B, C, D, E, FX, F

The basis for grading will be the project reports for the two projects. Both projects will count in equal amounts towards the course grade

Requirements for final grade

The student must complete and pass both projects.
