Term Project

Network Simulation and Testing
Spring 2006

This term project will be a research-oriented exercise. The goal is to familiarize you with the latter stages -- particularly experimental design, analysis, presentation -- of a complete research cycle.

To be specific, you will be asked to

You will turn in a 1-page (or less) double-spaced experimental plan before the midterm exam and a 6-page (or less), 11-pt-font, double-spaced report by the final presentation.

Each team will be scheduled to present the term project idea in class. All team members will need to be present during the presentation. The team as a whole (one can speak for the team however) need to describe the research problem identified in the project proposal, related work, your hypothesis, and the plan to go about verifying the hypothesis.

It is strongly encouraged that you select a topic of your own research interest to take full advantage of the course. One example from previous years is a project 'On the Burstiness and Multiplexing Behavior of TCP Clocking Scheme'. The class project was followed up by the team and the revised work -- 'The Impact of Network Variabilities on TCP Clocking Schemes' -- is published on the 8th IEEE Global Internet Symposium, in conjunction with Infocom 2005.
