Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

In this course, students aquire fundamental knowledge and competencies in the area of networked and cooperative systems. They understand important state-of-the-art technical aspects (e.g. in the areas of WLAN technology and IPv6) and are able to understand networked systems froma basic socio-economic and user-centric perspective.

The course comprises lectures as well as practical exercises and two accompanying reading seminars. The lectures deal with advanced technical aspects of communication networks and give an overview about important aspects of interaction design, user experience and innovation methods of cooperative systems.

The practical part comprises a case stuy which will be performed in small groups, including presentation of the result and a written paper.

During the accompanying seminars, fundamental texts on socioeconomic and user-centric aspects of networked systems will be jointly read. Students have the task to present individual chapters and lead the related discussion.

During the entire course, students are required to be present.

Performance will be graded by
- active lecture participation (individually and in groups),
- written quizzes in the course of the lecture meetings (individually),
