This year I gave a tutorial on using the Kodo library at the NetCode 2014 conference.
Kodo is a C++ library for implementing Erasure Correcting Codes, in
particular Random Linear Network Codes. The library is intended to be
used for reliable communication protocols and storage systems and for
research on the use and implementation of Random Linear Network Codes.

This year I will serve as the tutorial chair for European Wireless 2015.
EW 2015 will be accompanied by a set of three-hour long tutorials on important and emerging topics in wireless and mobile communications. These tutorials will be offered free of charge to all participants of the conference.
See the call for tutorials here: http://ew2015.european-wireless.org/call-for-tutorials/
If you are interested please also consider submitting a technical paper.

I will again this year serve as a TPC member for the ICC 2014 CoCoNet workshop.

This Friday I will together with Frank Fitzek (www.fitzek.net) be presenting our “Implementing Network Coding” tutorial at IEEE Globecom 2013 in Atlanta.
Abstract:
Network coding has raised a lot of interest in the research community lately and first attempts in standardization bodies are taking place to integrate this ground breaking technology in commercial products. This tutorial will give a short introduction to network coding, but the main focus is to enable the audience to implement their own ideas either in simulations or in real testbeds. Therefore the tutorial organizers will present their own software library for network coding. The software library comes with a small simulation environment to test out first simple relaying topologies. It can be further integrated into NS3 and allows more complex simulations. The tutorial will show how to embed the software library and to do the parameterization for different scenarios. Understanding the impact of different parameter choices are of critical importance in order to successfully deploy network coding in real networks and on real devices. Throughout the tutorial participants will gain hands-on experience with the impact of key parameters such as finite field size, generation size and systematic coding.
The tutorial will also show how to implement the software on commercial platforms such as Android phones, tablets, or laptops. Some demonstrators of network coding will be available showing the full potential of network coding in larger testbeds. The goal of the tutorial is that each participant understands the basic functionality of network coding and is able to integrate network coding in own projects. The software library is fully accessible to the audience even after the tutorial. This tutorial will be held for the first time and the implementation of network coding is a very timely topic.

The 2014 International Symposium on Network Coding (NetCod 2014) will be held in Aalborg Denmark. This year I have been invite to participate in the Technical Program Committee (TPC), which I’m looking forward to.
If you are working in the area of network coding the NetCod 2014 call for papers is now available. You can find that and more information about NetCod on the webpage: http://netcod2014.com/
Hope to see you in Aalborg.
The next IRTF Network Coding Research Group (nwcrg) meeting at IETF 88 in Vancouver is scheduled for this Thursday the 7th of November from 13.00 – 15.00 PST. Unfortunately I am not able to participate in person this time, but this gives me the opportunity to try out the many options for remote participation available at the IETF meetings.
There are a bunch of interesting talks on the nwcrg agenda which you can find here.
If you are interested in participating remotely there is a bunch of ways, which you can look up here.
Personally I will try to join via the Meetecho tool which seems to work out of the box on most setups. The direct link for the nwcrg Meetecho session is here.
Update the slides are available here search for nwcrg to find the right ones.
Looking forward to the talks.
This fall (September 30th, October 2nd and October 4th 2013) I helped preparing and provided material for the PhD course “Network Coding: Theory and Applications” at the university of Catania Italy.
You can find more information about the course on the course webpage.
This summer (July 22 – August 9) we ran our mobile phone programming summer-school for students from around the world. This year we had 32 participants for the mobile phone programming track. During the three weeks the students get intensive crash course on mobile application development (this year the focus was on Android). Besides becoming familiar with various aspects of mobile programming the students also develop their own mobile applications. Typically this is great fun – and if you are interested in learning more about the upcoming AAU summer-schools or the mobile phone programming track, you can visit the AAU summer-school webpage here.
This summer (June 14th to 21st 2013) I participated in the PhD course “Network Coding: Theory and Applications” as an lecturer. The course was structured into three parts:
You can find more information about the course on the course webpage.
Later this year I will serve as the tutorial chair at the IEEE CAMAD 2013 workshop in Berlin the 25-27th September. More information about the workshop topics and scope can be found on the webpage.
The important dates are:
