I'm not in the assignment list, how can I get assigned a project topic?

You can request the assignment of a project by sending an e-mail to the professor and to Davide Fuscà fusca_AT_mat.unical.it Projects can be either individual or assigned to 2 persons.

Seminar preparation instructions

The project consists of two parts: the first part consists in preparing and exposing, in a presentation of maximum 15 minutes (about 12 slides), technical aspects related to the topic assigned. The technical discussion should present an overview of the topic, together with real life examples. The second part consists in presenting a working demo related to the assigned project. Your work must include both parts: partial projects will not be evaluated. In rare circumstances, it is possible to not present a demo, e.g. if the assigned topic appears evidently theoretical. Your demo can be based on a netkit laboratory or GNS3 or other technology, depending on your topic. You might consider using specifically prepared server virtual machines, or containers (like docker containers www.docker.com).

The discussion of the project is interactive and will include questions on the course program. Your presentation must respond to the following points:

1. Description of the specific BCP (BEST CURRENT PRACTICE) number
2. Whenever applicable, description of the technological context of the BCP
3. Examples

The presentation style should be at a technical level (for experts) and not exclusively anedoctical. The presentation should not be considered separated from the context of the course program (for example: in an analysis of a protocol related to PKI, IT IS assumed that the student knows how the PKI works)

1. Demo: implement a practical situation in which the assigned BCP manifests itself; 

Release of your project

The slides and the demo content must be sent to the professor at least 24 hours before the scheduled exam date.
