This seminar focuses on research issues in the fields of distributed computing and computer networking. You will be able to practice working on current research literature, presenting a scientific topic of your interest, and your programming ability as all presentations have to be supported by a java applet (or HTML5.. at your choice). Skills required include basic knowledge on computer networks and English proficiency.

Guidelines for the applet (if using Java)

To ensure that your applet runs properly, make sure to keep to those guidelines:

Use the Sun runtime environment for testing. Alternative JREs like OpenJVM, GCJ, or Apple's implementation might have quirks that make them incompatible with the system used for the presentation.

The final applet should come as an HTML file that only embeds the applet with the proper size, and a JAR file containing all binaries, source code, and resources necessary to build and run the applet.
