NET-2013-08-1 - Proceedings of the Seminars "Future Internet" (FI), "Innovative Internet Technologies and Mobile Communications" (IITM), and "Autonomous Communication Networks" (ACN), Summer Semester 2013

We are very pleased to present you the interesting program of our main seminars on “Future Internet” (FI), “Innovative Internet Technologies and Mobil Communication” (IITM), and “Autonomous Communication Networks” (ACN) which took place in the summer semester 2013. All seminar courses were held in German but the authors were free to write their paper and give  their talk in English. Some of the talks were recorded and published on the media portal http://media.net.in.tum.de.  In the seminar FI we dealt with issues and innovations in network research. The following topics were covered:

• How modern NICs speed up Packet-Processing Performance of PC-Systems
• TCP Internals
• Honeypot-Architectures using VMI Techniques
• Linux Rootkits
• Cyberattacks Targetting Critical Infrastructure
• Anonymity: Formalisation of Privacy 
• Network Simulation and its Limitations
• Impact of social behavior for critical infrastructure resilience

 Recordings can be accessed on http://media.net.in.tum.de/#%23Future%20Internet%23SS13.    In the seminar IITM we dealt with different topics in the area of network technologies, including mobile communication networks. The following topics were covered:

• Rootkits and their detection
• Padding Oracle Attacks 
• Evaluation of Operation Research Approaches to Solve Allocation Problems in Decentralized Networks
• LTE SON-Function Coordination Concept 
• Regulating Code
• Risk, Risk Perception, and Cyberwar

Recordings can be accessed on http://media.net.in.tum.de/#%23IITM%23SS13. In this year's ACN seminar a new didactical concept was introduced, reassembling the setting and style of a real scientific conference more closely. Both students and advisors used a web-based conference system to execute common tasks associated with a conference, such as registration, uploading papers, submitting reviews and commenting on the work of others'.  Also, they were tasked with moderation of one talk during the closing event of the conference. The new concept was well received by all participants. It will be used in other seminars next semester. The ACN seminar was organized by the research groups I8 and F13.  This semester's students covered the following topics around autonomous communication networks:

• Constrained Application Protocol (CoAP): Introduction and Overview
• Constrained RESTful Environments: M2M-Communication on the Application Layer
• Constrained Application Protocol, a TCP Replacement that Supports Multicast?
• Self-Configuration in LTE Self Organizing Networks (ACN best paper award)
• Smart Grids - Intelligent Power Grids for Renewable Energy
• Security and Privacy in the Smart Energy Grid
