Courses, Operation and Management Students are expected to take the following courses offered by the lab. –Data Engineering –Internet Information Retrieval –Internet Database Systems Related Courses: –Data mining –Social Network –Internet Security –Network related courses such as mobile network, network management, network programming, multimedia, …

Courses vs Projects In general, the first year students place the course work as first priority. Some students might participate in the research projects if they already have good background and have less course load. The thesis projects will be assigned after the first year of study.

Meetings Every week there will be a group meeting and individual meeting. In the group meeting presentation, one is expected to present interesting stuff that might be valuable / helpful to others. It can be papers, software, websites, technologies…, or even some fun stuff. The topic of the talk is decided by the speaker.

Requirement for graduation 沒有特定的碩士論文成果水準要求。 除非自己希望延畢或特殊狀況，否則在正 常修業期限 ( 兩年 ) 畢業。 我認為碩士只是一個專業領域的學習與訓 練過程，只要有至少數個月時間積極認真 的進行論文計畫就 OK ，學習最重要的是對 自己的將來負責。
