EXAMINER
Stephen Pink Prof


PREREQUISITES
Following courses passed (or similar): SMD088 Computer Networks, SMD097 System Programming, SMD005 Operating Systems, SMD011/SMD012/SMD038 Imperative Programming, SMD006/SMD103 Reactive Programming, SMD056 Program Construction (or SMD044 Imperative Programming and a Program Project/SMD064 Software Engineering), SMD073 Data Structures and SMD066/SMD082 Processor/Software Interface.

COURSE AIM
The goals of the project are to implement solutions to current network problems, and to practice the ability to plan and perform work in projects.

CONTENTS
In the project students will implement and study solutions to current networking problems. Some protocol or application design may be part of the project. The projects have a long-term goal to develop a test network which supports advanced communication solutions and experimentation. The course BIB004 is a requirement to pass. There will be an opportunity to take BIB004 in connection to the project course.

Some of the following areas might be targeted by the project.
- efficient differentiated packet switching
- operating system support
- traffic shaping
- service guarantees
- flow management, routing, and load balancing
- distributed applications which need network support.

TEACHING
Project groups, meetings with minutes, written timecards, a compulsory oral presentation and a written report.
