Programme détaillé
Defining the research. Applied and fundamental research. Creativity and Curiosity in Research. PhD or no PhD?
Fundamental research: problems of analysis and synthesis; modelling and decision making; recalling ‘classical’ models in networks and approaches to their analysis and synthesis.
Applied research: languages and platforms used in the current and future networks; related technologies and existing solutions.
Research paper preparation: tips and hints on putting the background, motivation, related work, and contributions; checking related best practices.
Preparing a paper as a joint work: repositories, content-oriented editors, etc.
Research presentations: 5-min briefing, conference talk, seminar, (invited) lecture; checking related best practices.
Poster preparation: tips and hints.
Thinking of a traineeship / PhD at Télécom SudParis? Research directions and possibilities.
This course is supported by the execution of Applied / Fundamental projects proposed by the researchers from Télécom SudParis, including (Assistant) Professors, PhD students, research engineers, etc.
The class also includes attending research seminars of different kinds, including tutorials, graduate students’ presentations, invited talks, etc. Seminars where the students are going to present their progress on individual / group projects, are also foreseen, as well as the practical work on the paper preparation.
Evaluation
The evaluation is performed based on the quality of the individual / group project implementation, as well as defined control points, namely: i) project progress presentations at the seminar and homework, including preparation of a part of research paper, presentation, state of the art, etc. (25 %), ii) final presentation – project defense (25 %), and iii) supervisor’s grade on the research project (50 %).
