General questions about the course
Professor in
charge for the course. Prof.
Luca Becchetti.
Who can attend
this course. This
12 credit course is for students of the Master of Science in Engineering in Computer Science
and the Master in
Computer Engineering. The course is taught in English, and there
will be no edition in Italian. This course is one of the characterizing
courses of the section "Computer Networks". This course is also for
students of the PhD program in Ingegneria
Informatica (Computing Engineering). Typically, such students will
attend only one or two sections.
Course
structure. The
course consists of 4 sections, described below. Each section corresponds
to 3 credits and consists of approximately 30 hours, each taught
by an instructor in a given semester (note that different sections may
be taught in different semesters). Students will have to pass an exam
for each section, for each section following the indications given in
the web page for the section. The final exam will be registered by the
course coordinator (Prof. Luca Becchetti), and the grade will depend on
the grades obtained in the various sections. Not all student will take
all sections of this course. For example, a student may have passed a 6
credit exam in a previous Corso di Laurea that has been approved by the
Consiglio d'Area as corresponding to 6 credits in elective. In this
case, s/he will only need to take further 6 credits for this course, and
therefore attend only 2 sections. When a student has passed the exams
for all required sections, s/he should send a message to Prof. Luca
Becchetti (luca.becchetti [at] dis.uniroma1.it), asking to register the
exam. Please, check the news section of this page for the dates when
registration is scheduled.
Which sections
should I follow? A
student has to take at least 6 CFUs from Sections 1 to 4 of the Elective
in Computer Networks. Other credits can be chosen by the student
according to the following rules: If a student has to take 12 CFUs in
Elective, then s/he will take at
least 6 CFUs from
Sections 1 to 4 of the Elective in Computer Networks. The other 6 CFUs
can be covered either by choosing two more Sections
(possibly from other Elective courses) or a 6 CFU course from
the Master degree. In
this case, the student should contact Prof. Becchetti
(luca.becchetti [at] dis.uniroma1.it) to agree on the course to follow. If a student has to take less than 12
CFUs, at least 6 CFUs
should be from Sections 1 to 4. So
for example, a student who has to take 6 CFUs can
only take two of the sections from 1 to 4 listed below.
Important notice: you cannot choose
a 6 CFU course that is from the undergraduate degree or that you are
going to take as part of your curriculum.
How should I
register the exam if I take a 6 CFU course? Prior to giving the exam, you should inform
the teacher of the course that your exam is taken as part of the
Elective in Computer Networks. When you pass the exam, the teacher
should send an email to Prof. Luca Becchetti (luca.becchetti [at]
dis.uniroma1.it), notifying that you passed the exam and the grade you
received. Please remind the
teacher that your exam should not be registered in the usual way, only the aforementioned email should be
sent.
When are the
lectures of the different sections scheduled? For the current Academic Year, Sections 1
and 2 are scheduled in the first semester, whereas Sections 3 and 4 are
taught in the II semester. Follow the "additional information" link of
each section (see below) for the exact schedule of the corresponding
lectures. If you plan to take sections from other Elective courses,
please refer to instructors in charge for detailed information.
What to do to
follow this course. Just
follow the rules listed above. You only have to contact the teacher (luca.becchetti [at] dis.uniroma1.it)
within November 15th in case if you
want to replace 6 CFUs with a 6 CFU from the master degree or if your
situation does not match any of the examples above.

exam's section for the academic year 2012/2013 shoul be completed by
