Do not forget to send me your project by May 19. Send me your
presentation if you have not done so.
Thanks for taking the class. It
was fun for me.
This course, intended for graduate students, surveys
quantitative methods in networking. We assume that the students have taken an
introductory course on networks at the level of EECS122 and 126 or 226A or
equivalent. The course focuses on
active areas of research in wireless networks, transport services, and
incentives. We will combine formal
presentations of material with discussions of the merits of the models and
questions they address. There are no
homework assignments or examinations, but the students have to do a term project.
Grading
The grading will be based on class
participation and a term project with presentation in class.
