This page is organized by the weeks of the quarter in which lectures were given and papers assigned. The weeks are in inverse order, on the assumption you will most often be looking for the most recent week.
This class will be taught by Peter Reiher.
The class will start with several lectures delivered by the instructor. The remainder of the class sessions will consist of short presentations by students, followed by class discussions. The final sessions will consist of project presentations.
Keys for the wireless lab are now available. If you visit the lab during normal working hours for Simon, its administrator, he will issue you a key. His hours are 10AM-6:30PM.
We will be working with the ANTS and PLAN active network execution environments in the lab. You can work with other packages, as well, but these two are installed there already. An ANTS paper and PLAN documentation page may be helpful.
I am told that PLAN now works in the wireless lab. I strongly recommend testing that for yourself. Let me know if there are problems.
On Tuesday, we will discuss the PLAN slides I didn't get to last week.
The ASP EE: An Active Execution Environment for Network Control Protocols, , Bob Braden, Alberto Cerpa, Ted Faber, Bob Lindell, Graham Phillips, Jeff Kann, ISI Technical Report, December 1999
The PLAN System for Building Active Networks , Michael Hicks, Jonathan T. Moore, D. Scott Alexander, Pankaj Kakkar, Carl A. Gunter, and Scott M. Nettles, University of Pennsylvania, 1998.
PLAN: A Packet Language for Active Networks, Michael Hicks, Pankaj Kakkar, Jonathan T. Moore, Carl A. Gunter, and Scott Nettles, ICFP'98.
For that matter, I hadn't finished them on Tuesday, so the rest of them will be covered on Thursday. There will also be new slides on PLAN for Thursday.
