Note:
Read this specification carefully and follow it closely.
Each project requires a
written report with a diskette/CD containing the report. The report should
be written in a tutorial fashion with proper lab exercises attached.
The report should consist of 3 parts:
·
First part is for the description/explanation of the system environment
and explanation of related concepts.
·
Second part is a step by step lab manual for the implementation.
Develop the lab manual in the fashion (use screen shots whenever possible) such
that students can follow the lab to learn about the system; installation,
maintenance, management. If you need to combine/mix the above 2 parts, do so. Installation
part should be minimal unless it contains important things.
·
Third part is to hand in a diskette/CD containing document of the above
two parts.
Important:
Hand-in a well-written project report which describes the concepts & also
hand-in a well-organized lab manual (with explanations & step-by-step lab
instructions) and a diskette/CD containing everything at the date of your
presentation. I expect a high quality work from all of you.
Each student is required to
participate in two projects. If you do not participate in the project
actively, the other members in the project have the right to exclude your name
from the written report. The maximum size for a group is four students. When a project is signed up by a group with the
maximum recommended number, then you need to form another group for the same topic.
In other words, a project can be done by several groups but each group working
separately. But there are maximum two groups per topic.
One important thing to
remember is that the lab is used by other Computer Science classes. Their usage
should not be disturbed by your projects– in other words, do not leave a
machine unusable by other CSCI students. It is your job to expect and cope with
the difficulties. As you know, the computers in the lab are not very stable. This is an advanced class and I expect you to
be knowledgeable and creative. You can work any time when the lab is open
except the reserved hours for other CSCI classes.
Whenever you finish your project, your team needs to present it to the class. Every member should participate in the presentation. During the presentations, you not only need to describe the concepts but also carry out a live demo of your project.
When all students sign up for projects, I will assign the presentation date for each group.

2. Develop a lab
for the following applications. When an application is simple, you need to
explore several of them. For example, Visio is too simple. But some of them may
be complex enough to be a topic on it’s own. For
example, Virtual PC is complex enough.

7. Create your own project for any topic that is
related to network management. Submit your names and the topic with brief description and
get an approval from the Instructor before you start the project. Depending
upon the quality, creativeness and practicality you will be given extra
credits. Write detailed description and consult with instructor.
