Course description
Internet – yesterday, today and tomorrow (what is the Internet, who manages the Internet, what is transmitted over the Internet, the amount of content on the Internet). The basic concepts of Internet networks (connectivity of different transmission technologies, Internet protocol stack, communication flow between users). Elements of Internet networks (network elements, terminal equipment, transmission technologies). Internet protocols (the concept of operation, network layer protocols, transport layer protocols, application protocols). Applications and services (content servers, email, network services servers, hosting).

Andrej Kos je diplomiral leta 1996 na Univerzi v Ljubljani ter doktoriral na področju telekomunikacij leta 2003. Trenutno je zaposlen kot docent na Fakulteti za elektrotehniko v Ljubljani kjer izvaja predavanja pri predmetih Komunikacijski sistemi in omrežja 1, Komunikacijski sistemi in omrežja 2, Inteligentna omrežja in Internetni sistemi, v izpostavi Fakultete za elektrotehniko v Novi Gorici pa pri predmetih Studijska in snemalna tehnika, Internetni sistemi in Mobilni sistemi.
Je vodja večjega števila razvojno-raziskovalnih projektov v sodelovanju z industrijo. Njegovo razvojno-raziskovalno delo je osredotočeno na analizo, modeliranje in načrtovanje naprednih telekomunikacijskih elementov, omrežij, sistemov in storitev. Trenutno se posveča upravljanju širokopasovnih paketnih omrežij ter inteligentnim storitvam naslednje generacije.
Sodeluje v naslednjih mednarodnih in nacionalnih organizacijah: ETSI, Sintesio-tehnični odbor, IFIP-namestnik predstavnika Slovenije v TC6, IEICE fellow member, IEEE member, EU evaluator za Networking Research Test Beds, Tehnološka platforma NEM, Tehnološka platforma NESSI ter Tehnološka platforma eMobility. Med drugim je tudi član uredniških in programskih odborov Vitel in IEEE/IFIP MMNS.
