Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

In this course, students acquire basic knowledge in the field of networked systems. They understand advanced technical aspects (e.g. in the areas of WLAN and IPv6) and acquire a basic socio-economic and user-centered perspective on networked systems (e.g. alternative social networks) as well as safety-critical infrastructure based on power grids and energy data.

The course is divided into a lecture part, a practical project part and an accompanying seminar. In the lecture part, advanced basics in all the above-mentioned areas are taught.

In the practical part, students work on a case study on the application of networked systems in small groups, present the final result and write a paper.

In the accompanying seminar part, students read basic texts on the socioeconomics of networked systems together. To this end, students present individual chapters of a book and lead the associated discussion.

Due to the examination-immanent character of the course, attendance is compulsory.

Assessment and permitted materials

Performance will be graded by
- active lecture participation (individually and in groups),
- written quizzes during the lecture meetings (individually),
- a project presentation (in small groups),
- a practical programming task (in small groups),
- a written paper (in small groups),
- a seminar presentations (individual)

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

- Quizzes on lectures (30%),
- Book seminar presentation and quizzes (30%),
- Project programming, presentation and paper (40%),

1 (sehr gut) 100%-89%
2 (gut) 88%-76%
3 (befriedigend) 75%-63%
4 (genügend) 62%-50%
5 (nicht genügend) below 50%

For a passing grade, you are allowed to miss class no more than two times; moreover at least 50% of the points must be achieved for presentations, quizzes, programming and paper each. If the conditions for passing are fulfilled (50%), the final mark may be improved by additional points for active engagement during the lectures or with related research projects etc.
