3 or 4 experiments will be assigned during the semester. These experiments will make use of ns-2 (the network simulator). Experiments should be conducted in teams of 2 or 3 students (no fewer than 2, no more than three). You may not work the same student on more than one experiment. Experiment write ups should be 5-8 pages.
ns-2 has been installed on the machines (specifically, shelby.cs.unm.edu and titan.cs.unm.edu) in the CS lab. To use ns-2 on these machines, you should add "/root/ns-allinone-2.27/bin" to your path.
Here is a copy of the ns-2 manual.

There will be one midterm exam and one final exam. All exams will be cumulative.
Students enrolled for graduate credit must write a term paper that compares two or three active research projects related to sensor networks or ubiquitous computing. Students enrolled for undergraduate credit may optionally choose to write a term paper. You are welcome to use relevant quotes from the available literature; however, you should use them sparingly. The intention is to describe and compare the projects using your own words.
Before you begin the final stage of your term paper, you must have the subject of your paper approved. To get your topic approved, you must write a short (1-2 paragraphs) description of the projects you intend to compare and supply at least five references (no more than two Web). You must have your topic approved by Thursday October 21. Your final paper should be 15-20 typeset, double spaced, pages including references and illustrations. This paper is due at the start of class on Tuesday November 23.
