Learning Objectives

The objective of this course is to introduce basic concepts on computer networks, in particular referring to communication channels, protocol hierarchies and network classification. To illustrate specific techniques in local networks and internetworking in order to understand local networks implementations and network applications.

Bridging Courses

Although there are no mandatory prerequisites for this exam, students are strongly recommended to take it after Algorithms and Data Structures, Computer Architecture, Operating Systems and Procedural and Logic Programming.

Teaching, Attendance, Course Books and Assessment

Teaching

Theory lectures and laboratory exercises, both face-to-face and on-line.

Attendance

Although recommended, course attendance is not mandatory.

Course books

Tanenbaum, "Reti di Calcolatori 5  Ed.", Pearson, 2011.
Forouzan "Reti di Calcolatori e Internet", McGraw - Hill, 2010
Stallings, "Sicurezza delle reti - Applicazioni e Standard". Pearson, 2010

Assessment

Individual project agreed with the professor and oral exam.

Disability and Specific Learning Disorders (SLD)

Students who have registered their disability certification or SLD certification with the Inclusion and Right to Study Office can request to use conceptual maps (for keywords) during exams.

To this end, it is necessary to send the maps, two weeks before the exam date, to the course instructor, who will verify their compliance with the university guidelines and may request modifications.

Notes

The course is offered both face-to-face and on-line within the Laurea Degree Program in Applied Computer Science
