Special Topics (Routing and Security Issues in Ad Hoc Networks)
This course will cover various issues in routing and security of ad hoc networks.
Due to the emerging nature of the field, selected papers and tutorial presentations from the current literature would serve as the basis for this course. The list of papers to be covered in this course will be listed under the References section below.
Each student is expected to read all papers, and will be required to present one or two of the papers (each presentation lasting about one hour) during the course. The presentation schedule and the assigned papers will also be posted below.
Every student will also expected to choose a topic for their term paper.
Grades assignments would be based individual presentations, participation in discussions following the presentations, and the term paper.
