Network and Telecommunications Software Development (Network Programming) (K23-B)

The course consists of an extensive implementation of network functions, protocols and applications. The approach aims at the gradual familiarization with programming at different network levels. More specifically, it includes programming for fixed and mobile networks and Future Internet, mobile and wireless systems applications. Applications and implementations also concern cognitive and configurable mobile and wireless communication environments (using e.g. J2ME, Android). Finally, the development will be expanded using web programming techniques aimed at managing mobile devices (in a predefined simulation environment).
