CSE 659 (Section 3) Seminar on Broadband Networks


Description

This is a one-credit seminar course on broadband networks. There are two goals for this seminar. First, we will use it as the forum to discuss the design and implementation of the internet phone server project. Second, we will discuss various broadband network technologies, their architectures, and systems software requirements. We'd to collect as much information about as possible and put them in a centralized URL for future references. So along the semester, I am expecting seminar participants to actively contribute to the collection. Students who decide to take this course must be committed to do a high-quality presentation of his or her assignment. In particular, a handout of at least one page must be prepared beforehand to be distributed in the meeting. As usual, auditors are not welcome. We meet from 5 to 6:00 PM in the conference room every Friday. The first class is 9/6/96.
