Computer Networks

Project for Honors & Graduate Students Fall 2023

Computer Networks Term Project Guidelines

The goal is to comprehend and summarize in your own words the published works in the research area of

computer networks and identify an open problem in this area. You should propose a possible solution to the

open problem. Simulations or analysis to back up the proposed methods would be a plus but arenot required.

Steps

Topic selection. Enter your topic on the form above and make sure that only one student

group is working on a particular topic. The earlier you choose, the more likely that you will

be able to select your preferred topic. Try to be as specific as possible. For instance, you

should select something like "Load balancing in P2P networks" rather than simply "P2P

networks".

Proposal: It should be 1-2 pages and provide a synopsis of the topic area and the open

problem. If you know how you are going to solve the open problem, then describe any

techniques or methods that you are planning to use. Or, if you are not identifying an open

problem, you can instead improve upon results presented in the reference paper. Your

proposal would describe what you expect to achieve and the methods for doing so.
