4
Pre-requisites

CSCE 416 Computer Networks
Strong motivation

5
Tentative topics

Wireless networks
Bluetooth
WiFi/802.11
Vehicular Networks
Sensor Network
RFID (Radio-Frequency Identification)
Topics
Secure localization
RFID privacy
Spoofing attacks
Jamming attacks

6
Structure

Will run somewhat like a seminar
Course based on presentation and discussion of
papers
Background reading from online material
I will give the first two lectures one on
network basics and one on security basics
Students are responsible for all of the
presentations
I may give short discussions on appropriate
background for some topics before the
presentations
Auditors are expected to read papers and
participate
One papers per lecture discussion of progress

7
Requirements

Presentations and research project
Expect about 1 (perhaps 2, depending on
enrollment)
Participate in 1 project ( group project)
Read and summarize papers before classes
Summaries will be electronically submitted via
dropbox
Write 1 position paper
You will grade each others position paper
Participation during classes
At the end of the semester, you must document 3
times that a comment or question from you led to
a significant discussion during class

8
Grading

20 presentations
10 paper summaries
40 project
10 position paper
20 class discussions and participation

9
Presentations

Make sure to prepare your presentation well!
Time 50 minutes
Send me your slides before/after class
Getting slides from authors or other sources is
NOT allowed
Grading will be based on how well you (a)
organize and deliver your presentation, (b) cover
the critical points of the paper, and (c) answer
questions
Please, do not make us wait. Set yourself up
before the beginning of class
The presenter has to come to my office hour at
least 48 hours before your presentation!
Choose which papers you would like to present and
send me email

Key points of presentation

Be very clear about how much time you have
Be very clear about your key message
Most good speakers average two minutes per slide
(not counting title and outline slides.
Each theme should be the subject of a small
number of slides
Each slide should have clear heading.
Make appropriate use of pictures
Each slide should normally contain around 25-35
words

11
A Generic Talk Outline

Title/author/affiliation (1 slide)
Forecast (1 slide) (optional)Give gist of
problem attacked and insight found (What is the
one idea you want people to leave with? This is
the "abstract" of an oral presentation.)
Outline (1 slide)Give talk structure. (Audiences
like predictability.)
Background
Motivation and Problem Statement (2-3
slides)(Why should anyone care? Most researchers
overestimate how much the audience knows about
the problem they are attacking.)
Related Work (2-3 slides)Important in the class
presentation
Methods (3-6 slide)

12
A Generic Talk Outline

Results (3-6 slides)
Present key results and key insights.
Do not superficially cover all results cover key
result well.
Do not just present numbers interpret them to
give insights.
Summary (1 slide)
Future Work (1-2 slides)
Give problems this research opens up.
Put down your own opinion.
Backup Slides (0-3 slides)Optionally have a few
slides ready (not counted in your talk total) to
answer expected questions. (Likely question
areas ideas glossed over, shortcomings of
methods or results, and future work.)

13
Summaries

Summaries should describe the key ideas and
results
Should also point out good and bad aspects of
each paper
Suggestion(s) for future work are highly
encouraged
Must not be regurgitation of parts of the paper
use your own words

14
Project

Participation in projects
Form a team 3-5 people
Implement the project described in a paper, and
validate whether your experiment results are
consistent with the one presented in the paper.
Find a problem in a survey paper. Come up with
your own solution and validate it.
Combine the course project with your own research
project.
The project that you chose has to be approved by
me.
It has to be wireless security privacy related.

15
Position paper (3 pages)

Goal
Presents an arguable opinion about an issue
Convince the audience that your opinion is valid
and worth listening to
How
choose a topic, developing your argument
address all sides of the issue
take one side of the argument
support your argument with evidence
address the counterclaims to show that you are
well informed about both sides.

16
Email Policies

Make sure you put your course (CSCE790) in the
subject of the message.
Remember that it is not my emergency if you need
help at the last minute. I may check my messages
in time to help you make a deadline, but this may
not necessarily be the case.
Ask specific question instead of general
question.
Bad example What course project I should work
on?
In general, I will answer quick questions sooner
than one that will take a long time to answer
In general I will monitor and respond to emails
during office hours, but in-person students will
take precedence.
