Program 2 is still due on Thursday before class. Submit what you
have. If you weren't able to get the program working, write up what
problems you had and what you tried to do to fix them. Note that you
should receive an email today with some hints on how to get the
vehicles to change lanes.
Sun, Mar 30 @ 5:30 pm - Security Papers
I've updated the schedule page with papers that we'll be discussing on
Thursday relating to security and privacy.
Wed, Mar 26 @ 12:25 pm - Program 2 FAQ
(I'll keep updating this as I get questions that I can answer.)
Should vehicles start out in one lane or both lanes? Randomly place vehicles in each of the two lanes.
Tue, Mar 25 @ 10:26 am - Class NOT Cancelled (3/27)
We'll meet on Thursday for 30 minutes to hear Nigel's presentation. Please arrive a little early so that we can get started on time.
Mon, Mar 24 @ 2:45 pm - Class Cancelled (3/27) and Prog 2
Class has been cancelled on Thursday, March 27 due to the colloquium scheduled at 10 am. Program 2 is now due on Thursday, April 3.
Items that are due this Thursday (progress report 2, list of background papers, choice of Application paper) can be submitted by the end of the day on Thursday.
If you do not choose an Application paper, one will be assigned to you on Friday.
I will be sending out the list of background papers to the class on Friday.
Your project proposal, progress reports, evaluation plan, presentation, and paper all contribute to your project grade (25% of your final grade).
Your background presentation counts as part of your presentation grade (15% of your final grade).
Thu, Feb 28 @ 2:20 pm - Updates
Check the schedule for upcoming topics/papers. We won't get to
routing before Spring Break.
Project progress reports should be sent as plain-text email
without attachments.
Pick an applications paper to present by next Thurs (Mar 6) or one
will be assigned to your group.
Send me 2-3 papers for your background reading list by next Thurs
(Mar 6)
Thu, Feb 28 @ 2:15 pm - Mid-Term
The mid-term is open notes. I would recommend that you bring the
assigned papers as well as the lecture slides/notes. Specifically,
there are questions that refer to [McG06], [RAH06], and [WFG+04] along
with other general vehicular networks topics that we've discussed in class.
Wed, Feb 27 @ 4:56 pm - Paper Assigned for Tuesday
Note that I've changed the paper assigned for next Tuesday (3/4). Please check the schedule. This paper describes the actual algorithm used in [ASL07] rather than focusing on the analysis.
Wed, Feb 13 @ 9:45 am - MDDV Assignment
The assignment on the MDDV paper will be given on Thursday and due next Tuesday. Since we will not meet on Tuesday, submit the assignment via Blackboard and put a hard-copy under my office door.
Tue, Feb 12 @ 6:30 pm - Papers on Schedule
I've added references to the papers that I mentioned in class today as
well as those we will discuss on Thursday. Since only [WFG+04] is
assigned for Thursday, you are only responsible for that one, but you
might want to glance at the others.
Fri, Feb 8 @ 10:20 am - Paper Added
I added a link to the paper I mentioned in class yesterday ([SHA05]) that discussed the worst case number of vehicles needing to communicate for the CICAS application in various types of communities.
Wed, Jan 30 @ 11:40 am - NOTICE Slides
I've posted updated versions of the NOTICE slides. If you already
printed the previous set, take a look at the new set because you may
only need to print the later slides.
Tue, Jan 29 @ 6:32 pm - Updates
I've made several updates:
new project topics
new papers (many under aggregation)
link the SWANS user guide under Useful Links (and also in papers)
Khaled's code from today's lecture (Look for X-SWANS under Course
Documents on Blackboard). Remember to think of a great name for
this extension by Wednesday!
Wed, Jan 23 @ 9:30 am - Schedule Change
I'm moving our discussion of NOTICE until next week. On Thursday,
we'll discuss mobility models and simulators. I've posted a set of
slides that covers just the traffic monitoring topic under Jan 22
lecture. These are the same notes that were there previously, just
with the NOTICE slides removed. I will let you know if I change the
NOTICE slides for next week.
Tue, Jan 22 @ 11:08 am - Project Change
I've decided to postpone the due date of the projects until Apr 29.
This will give you more time to choose a topic and to work on the
project. You may still work in groups, but I would prefer you to work
alone. If you plan to extend this work into a MS project, I would
encourage you to work alone on the project.
Thu, Jan 17 @ 2:40 pm - Projects
I've posted a couple of suggested project topics. More may be
added later, but also feel free to propose your own project. Go ahead
and start talking with your classmates about ideas (you can use
Blackboard to send email to the class). Remember that groups must be
chosen next week.
Thu, Jan 17 @ 2:07 pm - Papers
I've posted assigned (and suggested) readings for next week. Note the
new notation on the schedule regarding at what level you should read
the papers. The assigned papers are listed on the course schedule, and both assigned and suggested
papers are listed on the papers page.
Thu, Jan 17 @ 10:30 am - Lecture Notes
I've posted additional notes about
the slides from today's lecture. These are also accessible from the
schedule.
Thu, Jan 17 @ 7:00 am - Class Cancelled
Class is cancelled today. I will be in my office during class time
this morning if you have questions (this will be instead of office
hours later today).
You are responsible for the material in the lecture notes for
today. It's essentially background on wireless networks and network
security. I will add a link on the schedule page to additional notes
that aren't on the slides.
Paper 1-A is still due this morning. If I'm not in my office,
just slide the hardcopy under the door. I'll pick these up on Friday.
Keep a lookout on the course webpage today for other announcements
and updates regarding papers for next week and suggested project
topics.
Let me know if you have any questions, especially on the lecture
notes for today.
Tue, Jan 8 @ 1:39 pm - Getting Started
See the course schedule for a preview of readings that will be due
during the first week of classes.
