CIS6930 Wireless Mobile Networks Design & Analysis - Sp 07

• Course Syllabus
• Some pointers to find reading material.
  [Note: part of the student exercise in this course is to search for and identify high quality reading material on-line and in the library.]
  
  • ieeexplore.ieee.org then search by author or title,. etc
  • www.acm.org then digital library and then search
  • www.cise.ufl.edu/~helmy and look up the following topics: Mobility Modeling and Analysis, Robust Geographic Protocols and Services, Resource Discovery and Query Resolution

• Outline and format for the Project proposal and Project report:
  • Project proposal outline
  • Project report outline
• Announcements:
  • For March 5, 07: All groups please bring a hardcopy of your project proposal for discussion during the break in class today. Every group should be ready to present 5-10min summary of their ideas on the project topic and details.
  • Note: Attendance and participation in discussion during class is very important and does affect your grade. Please take it seriously !!
  • For each round of presentations the students will get to vote on the best presentation, and best discussed ideas. So keep track of your favorite presenters and topics (No, you cannot choose yourself or your topic in your vote !!).
  • Project report note: Each project is required to provide at least three (3) well-thought through scenarios in which the proposed protocol or idea will fail (e.g., stress scenarios for protocols, conditions in which a proposed model will not be valid, etc.). Explanation of why they will fail should also be provided or demonstrated.
