COMPSCI514/ECE558 Computer Networks: Course Project
The course project is a group project. The students form groups of
two-to-four persons to complete the project. Each group has two
options for completing the course project. For the first choice,
you can take the approach
reproducing networking research for your class project. That is,
you can choose a research paper in the area of computer networks and
choose the important results from that paper to reproduce. For the
second option, you may choose to complete an original research
project. Please talk to us first if you decide to take this path for
your project.
If you take the first option, your project turn-ins will include the
code you use to reproduce the results and a research report that
answers the following questions:
What problem does the paper aim to address?
How did the authors address the problem? What are their key
ideas and results? What challenges did they encounter and how did
they overcome them?
Describe your approach to reproduce the results in detail. What
tools did you use? How did you design your experiments? What
software did you develop? What challenges did you encounter and how
did you address those challenges? How did you configure your
experimental settings and how did you run the experiments?
What are the drawbacks and advantages of your chosen approach?
Present your results and explain them in detail. Did your
results match the original results? Did you discover any problem not
mentioned in the original paper? If your results didn't match those
of the original paper, please explain why. Describe the issues you
encountered that prevented your results from matching the original
results and the methods you used to resolve those issues.
Did you extend the original experiments? If so, please explain
your extensions and their implications.
Provide a detailed step-by-step list of instructions on how to
re-run your experiments to re-produce your results. We'll follow
these steps to grade your project.
If you choose the second option, your turn-ins will include a report
similar to a conference paper that describes your research and main
contributions, and code that can reproduce your research results.
Important dates
Please submit a project proposal that describes what you plan to do before 11:44am on Oct 22, 2018.
In the final two lectures of the class (11/21, 11/26), you will
be presenting your class project.
Final report and code are due before 11:59pm on Dec 8, 2018.
