Course description
Course content
In this course you will meet distinguished speakers from industry and universities to give the lectures, where the following topics are taught: Basic optical communication, Cross-domain real-time systems, IP router architecture, Generative-AI, AI Agents, AI/ML-based Big Data Management & Analytics, incl. Cloud solutions, Cybersecurity and AI-based malware analysis, Internet of Things (IoT), IPv6 - future Internet, Basic Wi-Fi technology, Multicast communication, Content delivery networks, and Quality of Service in the Internet.
Learning outcome
This course focuses on building advanced knowledge, hands-on skills, and critical awareness in communication networks, AI/ML technologies and applications, and Future Internet infrastructures.
By the end of the course, you will be able to:
- Critically evaluate?state-of-the-art and emerging communication solutions (optical, wireless, IoT, IPv6, Wi-Fi, multicast) and?formulate?network concepts ensuring QoS.
- Analyze and mitigate?cross-domain real-time systems’ vulnerabilities and?how to?apply?secure communication protocols against cyber threats and malware.
- Explain and evaluate?different?high-performance IP router designs and content delivery systems for large-scale data traffic.
- Integrate and make use of?AI/ML and generative AI agents for traffic control, classification, privacy protection, and security monitoring.
- Apply and optimize?AI/ML-based Big Data management, analytics, and cloud solutions for large-scale networked systems.
- Model and understand?IoT-enabled infrastructures (smart cities, smart grids, energy trading) and?validate?their scalability and efficiency.
- Synthesize and evaluate?next-generation Internet solutions, including IPv6, content delivery networks, and future-oriented architectures used in industry.
Admission to the course
