Project: Multiple project topics will be provided a few weeks into the semester. The project will involve develop-
ment of protocol(s), and extensive simulation experiments for performance measurement. Each student is expected to
meet the instructor at regular intervals, during office hours or other mutually convenient time, to discuss the solution
approach and to report progress. The final project report should be in the form of a research paper that states the
problem, summarizes previous work in the field, proposes a new solution, compares the solution with existing solu-
tions, analyzes the results of simulation experiments and cites the relevant literature. The final project report is due on
November 29.
Academic Misconduct: Any instance of plagiarism will be dealt as per university regulations. The instructor re-
serves the right to ask students to explain how they implemented their programming assignment. If the student is
unable to provide a satisfactory explanation, (s)he may lose points even if the program works correctly.
Copying material from other sources, including websites, and using them in the survey paper is an act of plagia-
rism. The survey paper is expected to be technical in nature, and please avoid excessive use of acronyms. If some code
that is available in the public domain is used for the programming project, the source should be cited in the program
documentation and report.
Examinations should be strictly individual work. They will be conducted on a closed book, closed notes, and
closed neighbors basis.
Students suspected of academic dishonesty are subject to disciplinary proceedings as per university policies.
