Network Function Virtualization

The course introduces different techniques and platforms for so-called Cloud Computing, Software Defined Networks (SDN), and Network Function Virtualisation (NFV). Each course component begins with a brief overview of a topic, followed by group discussions chaired by students under the supervision of lecturers or guest lecturers. Students are expected to 1) read the available course material and prepare carefully for each lecture/seminar, 2) solve problems in groups or individually, and 3) present and reflect upon their solutions (orally and in writing) to an audience of other students taking the course.
