Seminar on Internetworking in general

In this seminar, students will write a seminar paper during the spring according to a given schedule. Each student has a personal tutor who guides the writing and the topic. The students present their papers in a two day conference in the beginning of May. The language of this course is English.

The course in Spring Term 2006 - Mobile Communities

During spring 2006 the seminar on Internetworking will focus on mobile communities. In the early years of internetworking in the Internet file transfer, e-mail and WWW were the most popular applications. Later on we have witnessed the power of communities on the Internet, like for example the popular instant messaging and presence systems from late 90's (AOL, Yahoo, MS Messenger, etc). During the same time, other powerful communities were built around e-commerce, like eBay and Amazon, and anti-ecommerce content delivery through p2p networks like Napster, Gnutella, Kazaa, and Akamai. Later on, we have seen the growth of communities around bogs and VoIP (Skype). It seems evident that community networking is a viable, growing trend in the Internet that people are interested about. The power of community networking will eventually emerge into mobile environments.

Responsible teacher of the course is professor Antti Ylä-Jääski, and Sanna Liimatainen acts as an assistant of the course. Please, use course email address when contacting the teachers.
