Communication Networks Scientific Seminar [SS 2024]
Topic: 6G network planning and resilience
The Communication Networks Scientific Seminar provides an opportunity to learn how to study academic literature and present scientific works in the form of a critical summary of a technical paper and academic talks. In this seminar, students will be assigned to supervisors, and will be introduced to important research areas and state-of-the-art literature in the field of networked systems, covering a variety of topics such as:
- 6G Use cases: E-health, AR/VR, ..
- Energy-efficient networks
- 6G Core networks
- Optical Wireless and heterogeneous networks
- Network dependability: reliability, sovereignty, security, ..
- Multi-domain network planning
- AI in 6G network planning
- Beyond classical communication: Semantic, Quantum, Molecular, ..
- Intelligent reflective surfaces
- Mathematical methods in network planning: Network calculus, Game theory, ..
- Network control systems
- Techno-economics of 6G networks
In this seminar, the goal is to learn how to study, present and write critical scientific reports while getting a better understanding of the objectives, challenges, key enablers, and current state-of-the-art methods of next-gen communication networks.
This semester the overarching topic is "6G network planning and resilience". The paper you will work on will belong to one of the previously listed topics.

Objectives
All participants will give a scientific talk (15min) on a certain topic. They will get references to related literature and further assistance, if required. In addition, they have to summarize the essentials in writing.
The main aim of attending this seminar is to familiarize oneself with scientific working methods as well as gaining experience with modern techniques for speech and presentation.
A special characteristic of the Communication Networks Seminar is the included course on presentation techniques during the first and second week. In this part, in addition to general rhetoric rules, the use of different medias for presentations will be taught. The students will undergo a special training in which video recording will be used to enable them to analyze and enhance their rhetoric skills.
