Curriculum on Self-Organizing Networked Systems

Curriculum

Core Courses

The following courses are mandatory:

Introduction to Self-Organizing Networked Systems

• Part I: What is a self-organizing system? Methodology and theory. Links to following courses.
• Part II: Case studies. A ring lecture with speakers from different universities and different fields.

Dynamic Systems

Lecture and Lab

Content: similar to "Nonlinear Dynamics and Chaos" by Steven H. Strogatz

Network Theory

Lecture and Exercises

Content: Networks from the real world. Network topology: Graph theory basics, random graphs, phenomena small wold and scale-freeness. Network functions/processes/algorithms: E.g. search, percolation.

Information Theory and Coding

Lecture and Exercises

Advanced Stochastics

Lecture and Exercises

Content: Selected topics from the following fields: Stochastic Processes. Statistical Physics.

Intelligent Systems (?)

Content: Game theory, neural networks, machine learning

Catch-up Courses

Depending on the background of the student, she or he attends a subset of the following courses:

Group Work

Group 1: Bauschert, Bettstetter, Pletzer, Quaritsch, Yanmaz

[[]]

Group 2: Anton, Manfred, Felix, Johannes,Alain

All courses should specifically deal with applications towards SOS.
