The Next Generation Networking (NGN) Webinar series covers all aspects of network technology, such as security, routing, protocols and applications (e.g. web). The talks bring together researchers from across the UK, as well as further afield. You can see previous talks in the Coseners’ Youtube playlist.
They take place on the last Friday of each month at 16:00. If you would like to present, please contact Ignacio Castro or Nishanth Sastry.
