Course Contents:
The course deals with cutting-edge development topics in the area of multimedia communication systems. Besides a general overview, it provides a deep insight into a special development topic. The topics are selected according to the specific working areas of the participating researchers and convey technical and basic scientific competencies in one or more of the following topics:
- Network planning and traffic analysis
- Performance evaluation of network applications
- Discrete event simulation for network services
- Protocols for mobile ad hoc networks / sensor networks
- Infrastructure networks for mobile communication / mesh networks
- Context-aware communication and services
- Peer-to-peer systems and architectures
- Content distribution and management systems for multimedia / e-learning
- Multimedia authoring and re-authoring tools
- Adaptive educational technologies
- Natural language processing in education
An up-to-date list of topics for this semester can be found on the seminar's website at KOM.
