Presentation
Want to understand, analyze and improve your communication network? Want to develop and define software on top of next-generation networks? Many people who want to study the techniques and tools analyzing the networks choose CCN. Further, and in order to deal with these objectives, they complementary wish to master the recent approaches based on software engineering.
A number of labs and projects are scheduled for students to practice and assimilate concepts more easily. High quality lectures and project supervision are provided by expert professors coming from one major engineering schoo from the University Paris-Saclay, Telecom SudParis and from the industry (IBM, Orange, etc.). Most of the professors are scientifically recognized in their research community and members of CNRS labs. Furthermore, some of the courses and labs will be provided by industrials, illustrating the relationships between the taught methods and their applications in the industry. Apart from the acquired technical background, the objective of the Master CCN is to give a first research experience so students are next able to apply to PhD position, or research engineers in academic or industrial organizations.
Programme
This is a 24 month and full time program starting in early October. The first semester is dedicated to networking and computer science fundamentals, and the two next semesters are more advanced and research oriented modules enriched by three projects. An eliminatory examination is scheduled in late first semester to evaluate the capabilities of students to pursue the program. The fourth semester is for students performing an internship in industrial or academic R&D laboratory.
All courses are taught in English, but French lectures (105 hours) are scheduled for students to improve their French.
