Teaching / INF570
Information!
I was responsible of this course in the 2012-2017 timeframe.
The course is now over, below you can still find the complete website.
Note: due to Jekyll migration, some links are possibly broken.
Poly
[pdf] All course content in a single document (``Poly’’)
Lectures
note: lecture slides in pptx format are only available to INF570 students
The paper was accepted at 7th International Workshop on Traffic Monitoring and Analysis and presented by François Espinet (X2011) at the conference.
Also, the 2A internship of François Espinet (X2011) at LINCS has been awarded Honourable Distinction with Unanimous Congratulations from the Jury (defense and report)
I tube, YouTube, P2PTube: assessing ISP benefits of peer-assisted caching of YouTube content (extended abstract, reviews and poster)
The paper was accepted as an extended abstract to the 13th IEEE P2P conference
Peeking Through the BitTorrent Seedbox Hosting Ecosystem
The paper was accepted at 6th International Workshop on Traffic Monitoring and Analysis
Projects proceedings
Information!
The proceedings used to be well-structured as the above success stories. However, given that the course finally closed, and due the migration from PmWiki to Jekyll, I judged a waste of time to (manually) convert the markdown. The complete proceedings (project report, slides, evaluation) are still available in this folder, though.
Readings
Note: in 2012 all readings were mandatory, while since 2013 all readings are optional (if you intend to read any of the paper below, then start by reading S. Keshav, How to read a paper ACM CCR, 2007)
