Text: Network Analysis, Architecture and Design, Second Edition (2003) by McCabe and Piscitello, ISBN 1558608877
This class is a combination of the study of design methodology and the practice of network design. Design is one element of communications project management as will be taught in ITS444/644; consistent with ITS444/644, our design work will begin with requirements and analysis, then advance to architecture and specification.
Finally, we will essentially will have both undergraduate and graduate students taking the class simultaneously. I will have different expectations for each group as well as separate grading systems.
