S-72.4110 Postgraduate Course in Communications Engineering

This is to inform all doctoral students that if you had planned to take the course S-72.4110 Postgraduate Course in Communications Engineering this year, then you are encouraged to take Prof. Kantola's course S-38.4030 instead since S-72.4110 will not be arranged. The topic of Kantola's course is certainly within the field of communications engineering. The professors of our lab will accept this course instead of  S-72.4110 in our major/minor topic.

Professor, Head of Communications Laboratory

Networking laboratory and prof. Kantola arrange a postgraduate seminar (S-38.4030) themed as

"From Carrier grade Ethernet to Routed Ethernet - Discovering the world after IP".
More details in http://www.netlab.tkk.fi/opetus/s384030/s07/ .

The course has two tracks: The first is concentrating on carrier grade ethernet (aka MetroEthernet) solutions and the other track investigates relevant topics of IRTF research.

The course will be arranged in Fall term 2007 (Periods I&II). The course is based on relevant material on the topics and arranged as a seminar.

As always, the course is intended to also act as an opportunity for the students to prepare, submit and hopefully also publish their contribution in relevant conferences and journals. Last year (fall 2006) saw almost 50% of seminar work to be later accepted as conference publications.

The start-up meeting will be held on Friday, September 28th at 15-17.30 in room D302 (lab's coffee room) in the Department of Electrical and Communications Engineering. We will confirm the assignment of topics and have an introductory lecture by prof. Kantola.

The seminar sessions are held on two days at the end of Period II (late November, early December, exact dates to be announced later).

The number of participants to the course is limited to 15. You can sign up for the course using wwwtopi.
