| 4 hours Topic: Advanced Topics in Wireless Networks. In this course, we will discuss issues with better defining and characterizing wireless links and their implications for higher-layer protocol design and optimization. Specifically, we will study the following issues: (T1) Channel behavior understanding and modeling based on real-life measurement results, (T2) fundamental analysis of the achievable transport capacity of a wireless mesh network, (T3) inter-flow and intra-flow interference control, (T4) cross-layer design and optimization that can achieve substantial gains in overall network performance, (T5) multi-radio and mult-path multicast routing, (T6) systems prototyping and experimentation issues. | ||||||

| 4 hours Topic: Self-Organizing Information Systems Cross-listed with LIS 590 SOS. This research seminar will investigate self-organizing properties of complex information systems and ways of designing adaptive, self-organizing information collections. Some examples of self-organizing information systems include collaborative filtering systems, adaptive websites, market-based information economies, self-generating language communities, and personal information collections. A methodological focus of the seminar will be the use of simulation methods as an investigative and design tool. | ||||||
