Analysis
and Design of Computer Communication Networks
(CENG 461/ELEC 514, Spring 2006)
Overview: The
goal of the course is to introduce the fundamental
concepts, mathematical tools and techniques, and how to
apply them to solve practical problems in computer
communication networks. The course is appropriate for both
undergraduate
students and graduate students. Graduate students will be expected to
undertake course projects.
