This course is based on the previous course CSCI 6760, which was designed only for the graduate level. This year is the first time that we had a combined network class for both undergrad and graduate levels. This syllabus is still under development; please check the webpage for the latest updates.
This course involves both lecture and projects. The materials include topics of the following two groups: 1). the Internet and its protocols. 2) ongoing research on computer networks, such as router design, peer-to-peer system, network security, wireless network, and network multimedia. All students are expected to read class material before class, participate discussions, and independently finish programming projects.
By the end of class, graduate students are required to have in-depth knowledge about the class material and are required to accomplish more projects than undergraduate students. In this semester, each graduate student will be assigned to an individual demo project.
