Course objective : The content of this course is coordinated with "Telecommunications" in 4th year of engineering. The course focuses on computer netwoks and communication protocol ( software) whereas the course "Telecommunications" focuses on the physics of communication ( analog telephony, digital telephony, sattelite communication, etc.)
Prerequisites : SI 614 Computer Science
Organization : The course is mainly based on presentations illustrated, when possible, with demonstrations on computers and / or visits in HEC's computer center
This course is given in English
