Contents
The goal of this lab is to get practical experience in modeling and simulation of networked systems. You will actively take part in research, working on a small semester-long task individually or in small groups. The tasks are taken from the context of cooperative mobile systems, but the developed skills in model generation, simulation design, statistics, and result presentation are helpful in a broad range of application domains.
Each participant (or small group of participants) will choose a single task from a pool of tasks (see OPAL) to work on during the semester. Solving this single task is enough to pass the course.
Prerequisites
There are no formal prerequisites for joining. Still, certain background knowledge is not taught, but assumed for the course.
- You should have basic knowledge of applied statistics.
- Simulations will be designed, written (in C++), and run (on Linux systems). For this, both programming and computer skills are essential.
Learning Outcome
See “Contents”.
General Information / Methods
This course will be held in English (German, if universally preferred) and all the course material is available in English. Course material will be distributed/collected via OPAL.
For participation:
- Plenary meetings will be conducted physically and/or using a streaming platform: the TU Dresden BigBlueButton instance, with Zoom as a fall-back.
