01-15-03-StS-VNetwork Simulation - ENTFÄLLT im WiSe 19/20 - (in English)
previous title: Stochastic Simulation of Communication Networks and their Protocols

Lecture (Teaching)
ECTS: 4

The goal of this lecture is to understand the design and programming of network simulators as well as the statistical evaluation of the results. The lecture provides a large amount of hands-on exercises where you will work with the OMNET simulator. We look at different types of networks, non-technical ones such as the spreading of biological viruses, traditional Internet-based networks and mobility-based opportunistic networks. Finally, you will work on a small project where you have to solve a given problem by means of simulations.

We expect from you some programming experience, preferably with C or C++.

After the lecture you will be able to design and develop simulation models of current and future networking technologies and identify resp. tackle performance issues in such networks.

Elective course for M.Sc. CIT, Electrical Engineering & Information Technology and Space-ST. Block course at the end of the lecture period from 10 through 14 February 2020.
Contents:
• Why swarm exploration – some motivational examples with applications in space and on Earth
• Preliminaries: selected mathematical formalism (vector spaces, matrices, representation and approximations in vector spaces, least squares, convex optimization)
• Recap of probability and statistics (calculus of probabilities, moments, Bayesian theory)
• Machine learning tools (supervised learning, linear regression, kernel methods, neural networks, impact of regularization, sparsity and compressed sensing)
• Models for multi-agent networks (connected network models, distributed inference strategies)
• Distributed machine learning and exploration (models for static spatial regression, information-theoretic exploration approaches, Bayesian sequential methods for learning and exploration)
• Discussion of several practical examples of swarm exploration solutions (cooperative localization, information-driven sparse mapping of magnetic fields, exploration of sparse gas sources using a swarm of mobile robots)
As outcome, the students should be able to:
• Understand key concepts in distributed information processing over networks,
• Explain and apply mathematical tools needed to implement classical machine learning algorithms in distributed settings
