Sources of networking information
Students who start their Master thesis in networking have sometimes difficulties in locating scientific information which is related to their Master thesis’ topic. Many of them start by googling with a few keywords and find random documents and wikipedia pages. To aid them, I list below some relevant sources of scientific information about networking in general. The list is far from complete and biased by my own research interests which do not cover the entire networking domain.
Digital Libraries
During the last decade, publishers of scientific journals and conference organizers have created large digital libraries that are accessible through a web portal. Many of them are protected by a paywall that provides full access only to paid subscribers, but many universities have (costly) subscriptions to (some of) these librairies. Most of these digital librairies provide access to table of contents and abstracts.
