COURSE DESCRIPTION
Course Information The goal of HY533 is to introduce students to research in the area of computer networks, with an emphasis on topics related to Internet measurements, network security, Internet routing, etc. This is a seminar course in which students will have to read and present recent scientific papers from conferences like ACM SIGCOMM, ACM Internet Measurement Conference, ACM CoNEXT, etc. The course will also train students on the necessary skills for conducting research and in particular on how to give effective presentations, how to write scientific papers, and how to work effectively in teams. A significant part of the course is its project, which focuses on reproducing a research result from a past research paper.

Create a folder named intermediate_report (or final_report)
Place in the above folder all the files that you want to submit.
Use cd to make the directory one level above the currently created folder your current working directory.
Issue the following command: turnin intermediate_report_submissions@hy533 intermediate_report (or turnin final_report_submissions@hy533 final_report)
The steps outlined above will result in copying your recently created folder into the account used by the HY-533 course. Each student's submission is associated with his/her login ID, and is assigned a time-stamp using the system's clock. You may also consult these directions .
