IN9031 – Protocols and AI for Future Internet

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.

After taking IN9031, 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 architectures 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;
• Have an overview of the current research trends in Generative AI-models and their applications in traffic control, classification, privacy protection;
• 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;

PhD students will acquire an even more in depth knowledge within a given scientific field compare to students taking IN5031, and would have to prove their in depth knowledge by giving a professional (trial) lecture.

PhD candidates from the University of Oslo should apply for classes and register for examinations through Studentweb. If a course has limited intake capacity, priority will be given to PhD candidates who follow an individual education plan where this particular course is included.

PhD candidates who have been admitted to another higher education institution must apply for a position as a visiting student within a given deadline.

3 hours seminar each week. The students will themself present topics/articles during the first 2 hours. The last hour will be use to present next weeks topic. Which student that´ll present which topic will be determined as soon as possible after the start of the semester.

In addition, each PhD student will be given an extended curriculum within the field/research area of the course. The syllabus must be approved by the lecturer so that the student can be admitted to the final exam.

Attending the first lecture is mandatory.

Oral presentation contributes 20% towards the final grade, while an oral exam contributes 80%. All parts of the exam must be passed and this must be done during the same semester.

PhD-students will also be given an extended curriculum within the field/research area of the course, and will have to give a professional (trial) lecture as part of the course.

It will also be counted as one of your three attempts to sit the exam for this course, if you sit the exam for one of the following courses: IN5031 – Protocols and AI for Future Internet, IN5030 – Protocols and Routing in the Internet (continued), IN9030 – Protocols and Routing in the Internet (continued), INF5050 – Protocols and routing in the internet (continued), INF9050 – Protocols and Routing in the Internet (continued)
