Content
The DISCO group offers a seminar with focus on performance and security aspects of communication networks this summer. You will be able to practice working on current research literature, presenting a scientific topic and your programming ability. The latter is crucial for your grade as all presentations have to be supported by an interactive visualization of an important aspect of your paper.
