Course content
In this class, students present the recent trends of mobile information networking systems by referring to academic papers and technical reviews.
Each participant gives multiple times of presentations on the assigned papers. We discuss the content of the papers and future directions of the corresponding technical fields.

*This course is intended for graduate students and 4th-degree undergraduate students who will enter the graduate school.
When undergraduate students below 4th degree will take this course, prior admission is required by the professor in chage of this course. Please contact SIT office before the day of the first classs in this case.
Purpose of class
Obtaining knowledge on the leading-edge technologies on the mobile information networks through the paper survey as well as improving skill of presentation and participation into academic discussions.
