15 446 Networked Systems Practicum Lecture 1 Introduction

15 -446 Networked Systems Practicum Lecture 1 – Introduction 1

Today’s Lecture • Administrivia • Topics and Overview 2

Instructors • Instructors. • Srini Seshan • srini@cs. cmu. edu, Gates Hall 8123 • Teaching assistants. • None (a couple informal ones ) 3

Course Goals • Learn about mobile system design • Wireless networks • Energy management • Split application design • Learn about security for networked systems • Basic crypto techniques • Privacy challenges in mobile systems • DDo. S • Learn how to build systems that use the network • Capstone project 4

Course Format • ~20 lectures • Cover the “principles and practice” • Complete readings before lecture • Readings based on recent systems/research papers • 4 homework assignments • “Paper”: Do you understand can you apply the material? • “Lab”: learn key system concepts • Capstone-like project • Midterm and final • Covers each of the above 3 parts of class 5

Project • Topic of your choice • Discussion of topics next lecture • Should have something to do with mobile computing • Regular meetings (approximately 1 per 4 weeks) • Final handin: code, presentation + demo, short (few page) writeup • Solo or in groups of 2 • Both students should understand the entire project • Expectations of groups will be somewhat higher 6

Administrative Stuff • Watch the course web page • http: //www. cs. cmu. edu/~srini/15 -446/F 11/ • Handouts, readings, . . • Piazza for Q&A • Office hours by appointment • Course secretary • Angela Miller, Gates 9118 7

Grading • Roughly equal weight in projects and testing • • 45% for Project 15% for Midterm exam 20% for Final exam 20% for Homework/Participation • You MUST demonstrate competence in both projects and tests to pass the course • Fail either and you fail the class! 8

Policy on Collaboration • Working together is important • Discuss course material in general terms • Work together on program debugging, . . • Final submission must be your own work • Homeworks, midterm, final • Web page has details 9

Late Work and Regrading • Late work will receive a 15% penalty/day • No assignment can be more than 2 days late • No penalty for a limited number of handins - see web page • Only exception is documented illness and family emergencies • No assignments with a “short fuse” • Start on time! 10
