Content

The course addresses varying issues in communications networks' security. In this seminar, students will write a seminar paper during the autumn according to a given schedule. Each student has a personal tutor who guides the writing and the topic. The students present their papers in a two day conference in the middle of December. The language of this course is English.

The seminar has two kinds of participants, tutors and students.

The students goal is to produce a seminar paper, while at the same time learning research and presentation techniques. There will be research areas, that the student can choose from. The student will have a tutor, with whom the student agrees on a specific topic to write about and who will help him get started. The student can (and should) turn to his tutor for advice during the course.

Tutors are mostly postgraduate students, who have as well experience of scientific writing as work experience from the field of communication. The tutors role is to guide a set of students through the process of researching a topic and refining the research work into an article. This includes coming up with a topic, finding some material to start the research from, helping the student specify the research problem, and guiding him in problems related to as well content as presentation style.

The climax of the course is a two-day conference, where all students present their topics and their findings. The conference will give all participants an insight into the current trends in communications networks' security, and provide a good forum for discussion.
