CSci551: Computer Communications--Spring 2009, Friday Section

Spring 2009, Friday Section Computer Communications (USC CSci 551).
Professor: John Heidemann.

• The primary web site for this class will be my CSci551 moodle (moodle is an open source course management system).

• The CSc551 Moodle will require student accounts. To get a moodle account, first fill out the the 551 web information form, then it will give you an "enrollment key" and let you create a moodle account. (Sorry for the multiple steps.)

• All CSci551 students in my section are required to fill out the 551 web information form before January 21st.

• Entry to the class is governed by a placement exam: See the department web page for details.

• A draft syllabus [PDF] is currently available.

• We will begin lecture on first day class, including discussing the papers for that day (listed below). Students are strongly encouraged to download the papers for the first day and read them before coming to class. (For classes after the first day, reading the papers before-hand is required.)

  The first three papers are publicly available on the web:

  • Hanson99a (pdf)
  • Jamin97b (pdf)
  • Levin83a (pdf)

  The remaining class papers will be available only through the class wiki site.

• The remainder of the papers will be available only through the moodle.
