CSE 8990-02, Spring 2007

Special Topics: Ad Hoc Network Security

This course will cover various issues in securing 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 is as posted below.

Grades assignments would be based individual presentations, participation in discussions following the presentations, and the term paper.

ACADEMIC HONESTY

Unless explicitly specified, it is to be understood that all homework

assignments and tests are to be performed without collaboration. The

   A student has through the fifth class day into the semester to add a course and through the tenth class day to drop a course without being assessed a fee or academic penalty.

2. Drop after the tenth class day through the 30th class day into the semester

   A student who elects to drop a course during this period must receive the approval of his/her adviser, will be assigned a W on his/her academic record, and be assessed a fee. The adviser who permits the drop will specify its effective date.

3. Drop after the 30th class day into the semester

   A student cannot drop courses after this period except in documented cases of serious illness, extreme hardship, or failure of the instructor to provide significant assessment of his/her performance. A request to drop a course during this period must be approved by the student's adviser and academic dean. The dean who permits the drop will specify its effective date. A student receiving permission to drop will receive a W on his/her academic record and be assessed a fee.
