Fall 1999
PROJECTS

One of the major requirements for this course is a project on some aspect of computer networks. The project may be either a practical or a term paper. Listed below are some of the topics for the project. If you are taking this course for graduate credit, you will need to do an additional project or research paper. For the practical projects, you will be expected to give a brief presentation to the class on your project and develop an HTML document. If you choose a term paper to write, you will need to turn in a copy to me for publication on the Internet and also make a brief presentation to the class. Some of the larger projects may be done in small groups, but I expect each participant to do a significant amount of the work.

Please see me about your selection of a project or e-mail me by October 11. (NOTE: Graduate students will need to do one of each)
I will be available for help with this projects.
