Presentation Procedure
|
|
You should select a presentation topic of your choice.
There are some requirements and
restrictions.
A presentation will be 25 minutes without interrupting questions
(except for clarification-type questions).
You should manange your time well during your talk.
You will get penalty if your talk is too short or too long.
There will be 5-10 minutes for questions and answers after your talk.
It is mandatory for each student to attend all class presentations.

Suggested Presentation Topics
|
The following is a list of suggested topics to give
students broad exposure on operating systems and networking technology.
More emphasis is given to practical aspects of system design,
implementation and operation than cutting-edge research issues.
The topics are grouped in the following areas:
- UNIX/Linux
- Linux boot process
- Linux file system layout
- Linux TCP/IP stack
- Kernel modules and device drivers
- Cross-platform development for embedded systems
- Embedded Linux: kernel and filesystem
- Internet
- IP address topics (classes, subnets, NAT, DHCP, etc.)
- Interior routing protocols (RIP, OSPF, etc.)
- Border gateway protocol (BGP)
- BGP route oscillation
- TCP flow behavior
- Domain name system (DNS)
- Network debugging and management (SNMP)
- Network time protocol (NTP)
- Security
- Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS)
- IP traceback
- OS fingerprinting
- Firewalls
- Intrusion Detection
- Wireless Networks
- Overview of wireless LAN - IEEE 802.11 -- by Instructor
- IEEE 802.11 security
- IEEE 802.11 mesh networks
- Bluetooth
- IEEE 802.15.4 and Zigbee
- Ad hoc routing protocols
- Sensor Networks
- Overview of wireless sensor networks -- by Instructor
- Operating systems for sensor networks
- Sensor network programming
- MAC protocols for sensor networks
- Routing in sensor networks
Requirements:
- Your presentation must be based on technical papers published in
refereed journals, conferences, workshops,
and symposiums. Books are also acceptable.
When you submit your presentation topic, you must specify on which
paper or book you will base your presentation.
- [BC: Added 1/31/2007]
Please note that some journal publications are basically
newsletters and they are lightly reviewed. For example,
Computer Communications Review is the newsletter of SIGCOMM,
Performance Evaluation Review is the newsletter of SIGMETRICS,
and SIGMOD Record is the newsletter of SIGMOD. They are usually
not as highly regarded as papers published in a well-established
conference, workshop, or symposium.
- [BC: Added 1/24/2007]
The above requirement is a good starting point. If you don't adhere
to the requirement above, you simply run the risk of losing
some points. If you find a topic that does not satisfy the above
requirement but are able to present it with depth, clarify, and
interest, you would not lose points. You will not automatically
lose points just because you do not satisfy the above requirement.
Restrictions:
- Please do not present something that was presented as course
material in another class (such as CS 551, CS 555, CS 694a/b, etc.)
If you did a paper in another class, but you did not give a
talk about it, then this restriction does not apply.
- Please do not base your presentation on something that was published
long time ago. Your main reference should be published within the
past 10 years.
- Please do not present a very high level system description paper
and give a laundry list of system features or buzzwords.
You need to present something with some technical depth.

Slides
|
|
You should prepare your presentation slides and send them to
me via email at least two days before your presentation.
I will go over your slides, and may suggest some changes.
You should send me your final version before your talk.
If you don't send me your slides for comments before your talk,
you don't directly lose points.
However, you will be at the risk of missing important points
in your presentation, which will result in a lower score.

Presentation Skills
|
Here are some tips for preparing your slides and giving your talk:
- Cover all important concepts and ideas and ignore unimportant
details. This is the key to keep your talk within 30 minutes.
- If present multiple papers, try to present them in a systematic
way by adding your own comments and summay that connect
different papers together.
- Use examples effectively to clarify ideas that are not straightforward.
- Each slide should have a point. Details are used to support
the point rather than burying it.
- Do not steal slides posted to the Web by others!
You may use some materials (e.g. pictures), but you should
acknowledge the source in your slides (e.g. in a footnote).
- Put page numbers on slides, so that people can easily refer to them.
- You should have about 25 slides.
- Do not speak too fast even if you can cover more contents.
Your audience need a little time to think and follow your talk.
- You should rehearse your talk beforehand.
