* This is an all-English course (with mandarin support) 全英語授課 (配合中文輔助).

Data communication is essential for networked computing systems. The objectives of this course are for students to get some ideas into systems analysis, to have hands-on experience to systems development, and to engage in recent advances in data communication systems. In particular, we will learn the basics of the standard queueing model, the MQTT messaging protocol, and the Amazon AWS cloud-computing platform. We will also learn to do critical study on scientific papers. The homework assignments are designed to help students build hands-on experiences for systems research.

In the 2021 fall semester, this course is structured as a hybrid course (數位課程) and is also offered on Taiwan Online Campus (全球遠距學院): the lectures are divided into three categories: asynchronous online (learn at your own pace), synchronous online (real-time remote class), and traditional face-to-face (i.e., come).
