Networked Life

Based on the material on Chapter 1 to 4 of:

Mung Chiang, “Networked Life: 20 Questions and Answers”, Cambridge University Press, 2012

(file “NetworkedLife.PDF”)

Working on network application or data service projects

Create a network (e.g., build an app)

Measure/describe a network (one we don’t look at)

Analyze an existing dataset (e.g., discussion forum posts)

Create a mathematical model for a network (e.g., people posting on TikTok)

The students are expected to identify and tackle practical problems in networked systems, ideally with data science related techniques learned from the above material from Chiang 2012.
