Hot Topics in Data Networks

Dear students,
We have opened a Doodle where you can enter your availabilities for the seminar presentations. Please enter your information by Friday, February 3, 23:55 CET. You can find a link here (as well as in the schedule on the main page):
https://doodle.com/meeting/participate/id/boZ75OXa

Please check _for each date_ if you have an exam conflict (no vote), if it is your preferred date (as green), or if you could make it if you had to (as yellow). Unless conflicts make it impossible, please mark at least two consecutive dates in green. If you have two or three scheduling conflicts, please email:
inet-teaching@lists.mpi-inf.mpg.de

If you miss the deadline, we expect you to be available for all dates. Please assume that the presentations will take up the entire day, and we expect each student to attend the entire seminar.
 

Dear Students,

As promised at the kick-off event, we are offering a lecture on preparing seminar (and other technical) presentations. The lecture will start on Tuesday (Jan 31) at 14:00 CET.

You can attend the lecture via this Zoom invitation: 
https://zoom.us/j/92067541323?pwd=bXNCUDBqQjRMWE1vOHVBNnZzUWh6QT09

Session ID: 920 6754 1323
Passcode: 477837

We will be recording the lecture. The chat will not be visible in the recording. However, Zoom will record the camera of the active speaker (i.e., the person speaking loudest at a given time) and any audio (if enabled). When you unmute or activate your camera, you implicitly allow us to record your audio/video. 

Only currently registered students and our team members can access the lecture recording (similar to the other uploaded resources). 

Dear Students,

Please remember to hand in your peer-review feedback on the website, you have until 23.01.23 23:59 to do so.

Furthermore, course evaluation is now available on the following link:

We will close the evaluation page on February 2nd. Your feedback will help us improve our current and future courses - something that will benefit not only you, but your fellow students as well.

Best,

HTDN Team

Dear Students,

Thank you for submitting your seminar paper drafts. 

We uploaded details on the next step, the peer-review process,
here: https://inet-teaching.mpi-inf.mpg.de/htdn_22/3/Peer-Review_Process (the page is only accessible via a CMS account)
On the page, you can find your group members, their drafts, and how the peer-review process works.

Actively participating in the peer review session and providing constructive feedback is part of your duties for this course.

Please make sure to submit your feedback via the "Peer-Review Feedback" submission tab before 23rd Jan. 2023, 23:59.
Format your feedback for individual drafts as PDF and join/compress them afterward into a .zip or .gz archive.

After the submission deadline, we will forward you all the feedback related to your draft within a few days.
Please take the feedback part seriously; it might help you or your fellow students to improve your seminar report.

Students that did not submit their first draft  and would like to continue the course, are able to participate in the peer review. They must provide feedback to the other students.

Dear Students,

The submission for your seminar report draft is now open. You can find it in the teaching system under submissions. The deadline for this is 09.01.2023 23:59 and we only accept submissions in PDF format.

Additionally, if you have not already done so, please remember to fill in the peer-review meeting doodle with at least three options from last weeks email, you can also find the link on the homepage. The deadline to do so is tomorrow, Wednesday, at 23:59. If you do not fill in any options before the deadline we will consider you to be available for all of them.

Best,

The HTDN team

Dear Students,

We hope you all enjoyed a relaxing holidays and are making good progress on your seminar report drafts. To schedule the peer-review, we have enabled a "Doodle" for you to enter your preferred time slots for the peer-review (Link). You can also find the link on the homepage. Please indicate _at least_ three time slots at which you are available until the 4th. January 2023, 23:59 CET. If you miss the deadline, we expect you to be available at all time slots. You can also find a page with more information on the peer-review process in the teaching system (here). The pairings for the peer-review will be announced on that page (and in a seperate announcement), and the sessions themselves will be held online via Zoom.

Please also be aware that the deadline for the seminar report drafts is on January 9th (you will receive a seperate reminder and submission information on that next week).

Dear Students,

We uploaded the Latex and Word template for the seminar reports. You can find them in the "Materials" page under "Report Templates."
Please note that we have a common template for the peer review and final report, and you will need to adjust the font according to the kick-off meeting slide. (Peer review 10pt, Final report 9pt)

Dear students,

We were able to publish the assignment of papers to students earlier than planned. This will give you more time to work on your report. The results of our paper mapping are available here (Students-to-paper mapping under Information menu):

https://inet-teaching.mpi-inf.mpg.de/htdn_22/2/Student-to-Paper_Mapping
On the same page you will also find the contact information of the supervisors.
Now you can contact your supervisor and set up an initial meeting. Please use this week to read through and understand the paper assigned to you. Prepare an outline for the meeting and make sure you can explain the paper assigned to you to your supervisor (in detail, and it would be better if you could prepare a short presentation).

We will send you information about the next steps for official course registration shortly.

As we discussed in the kick-off meeting, please provide us with your preferences for the seminar papers by the end of Wednesday, 9th November 2022, 23:59.

You can do so by writing the numbers of your five favorite papers (in descending order)
as a comma-separated line accompanied only (i.e., don't add any formal header/greeting or footer/parting parts)
by your name in the subject of the email to inet-teaching@lists.mpi-inf.mpg.de.

For example, the line "4, 10, 8, 27, 16" means that you prefer paper number 4 over paper number 10, and so on.
It also means that you prefer these five papers over all others.

You can view the list of papers on the Papers page under the Information menu.

Kick-off meeting slides are available in the materials page.

Hi all,

We will hold an in-person kick-off meeting on Friday, November 4 at 16:00 CEST in Lecture Room 1 (0.01.1) in Building E1.3. At this meeting, we will introduce the HTDN seminar and the papers that will be supervised during the course.

In the meantime, you can view the list of papers on the Papers page under the Information menu.
