This course builds on basic technology in data communication (as taught, e.g., in “Datenkommunikation”) and focuses on techniques to create more scalable, reliable, and performant networks and networked applications, to finally handle the network complexity as it might arise in the Internet of Things.
- Peer-to-Peer networks: unstructured P2P systems, general network topologies, structured P2P systems, P2P applications
- Cloud computing: cloud and distributed data storage
- Software Defined Networking (SDN)
- Sensor networks
- The Internet of Things (IoT)
