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.
