 Fri 9:00-11:45am
 Room 21222
 A qualitative and quantitative study of issues in design,
analysis, and operating of computer communication
and telecommunication network as they evolve toward
the integrated networks of the future, employing both
packet and circuit-switching technology. Packet and
circuit switching, the OSI standards for architecture
and protocols, elementary queueing theory for
performance evaluation, random access techniques,
local area networks, reliability and error recovery, and
integrated networks.

due date. Late submissions will be accepted with 10% penalty per day
up to 3 days. After those 3 days, late submission will not be accepted.
All exams are closed-book, closed-notes, and comprehensive to cover
the material up to the point mentioned one week prior to the exam
date.
You need have a computer access offered by the School or your own PC.
All submission in this class must be done individually. Anyone who
copy other’s work and whose work to be copied will receive no credit for
the submission.
The projects are group effort, but will be evaluated individually.
Students will form a group of 5 persons. Each group submits one copy
of the project report. Each team member must complete a “Peer
Rating” form and submit it to the instructor confidentially.
