Homework 3: Understanding Network Systems

Due: 11/30/2016

In this homework, we will take a critical look at some of the papers we read this semester.

Research papers

  1. Pick two research papers according to this rule: paperidx = 1 + ((sum of all the digits of your student id) mod 15). Your paper ids are paperidx and paperidx+1. If your paper IDs are 4 and 5, you should select the fourth and fifth paper on the course website. If your second paper ID is 16, then your second paper is paper 1.
  2. Write a five-line summary of what you found interesting in the first paper followed by a five-line summary of what you found interesting in the second paper.
  3. Then write a five-line interpretation of how those two papers are related to each other.

Formatting instruction: Please use Arial 11 pt font and 1 inch margins for main text. Each section should have an appropriate title that is bold and 12pt in size. The section titles do not count towards the five-line limit. All the sections should be on a single page.

Submission

Please submit your homework as a single pdf that should have three sections. Please use Moodle to upload your homework.
