To stay updated in your field you need to continuously educate yourself. There are several ways to do this: read journal papers, attend conferences or seminars/workshops offered by societies or clubs in your field, get involved in research etc. As an example I have attached here a journal paper for your reference.
For this assignement please write a one to two pages essay about the article. Points you should address are:
- Where would you use this type of network?
- How would this system help one improve the existing networks?
- How do you see this paper in the context of this course?
- How did this paper impact your understanding of network designs? Etc
- Which reference did you find most useful in clarifying unknown terms or concepts discussed in the paper?
- More ideas are welcome
