CS/ECE 6570: Advanced Foundations of Networking 
Tom Hou

This course covers theoretical foundations that are necessary for
advanced study of networking. It focuses on algorithm design and
optimization techniques that are most commonly used to solve complex
networking problems. Major topics include complexity analysis with
applications to networking problems, design and proof of approximation
algorithms, design of meta-heuristic algorithms, formulation techniques
for network optimization, linear and non-linear optimization techniques
with applications to networking, design of distributed algorithms with
proof of convergence for networks systems.
