Student assistant (40/60/80 hours per month)

The Chair "Internet Architecture and Management" conducts research at the intersection of networked and distributed systems, with a main emphasis on fundamental and algorithmic aspects. Our vision is that networked systems should become self-* (i.e., self-configuring, self-repairing, self-optimizing). Accordingly, we are currently particularly interested in automated and data-driven approaches to design, optimize, and verify networked systems.

• Conducting experiments on a real testbed or in network simulators to evaluate a set of protocols (20%),
• Generating plots using the given data (10%),
• Tabulating related work in a specific area (10%),
• Creating models (based on a given Linear Program) in solvers such as Gurobi (20%).
