This
is the home page of the cnds@napier module.
The module is currently running in the UK and
Malaysia. Just a quick note to say that Napier
has just gained an EXCELLENT in the general
area of Computing by the Times [Excellent].
If you're interested in research related to networking,
and distributed systems, especially related to
ad-hoc and mobile networks, then select the following
link [Research
at Napier]. Also if you're looking
for an Honours project, why not have a look at
the current projects relating to mobile agents
and wireless, ah-hoc networks [Honours
projects]. There's even a Pocket PC
site being developed [CNDS
for Pocket PC].

Coming
soon: Advanced Security and Mobile
Networks module. This module will try and integrate
current research in security and mobile networks
in a Level 4 module [Link].
The
CNDS module has now run in its current form
for several years. If there is something from
the past you would like to access you can find
it in some of the links given below. The module
has been continually refined over the years,
and tries to give everyone who takes the module
the same experience, no matter if they study
it in Scotland or Malaysia. As much as possible
the results from tests are published as soon
as they are marked, thus giving students some
idea of their current performance. In Session
2001/2002, the subject used a 60%/40% split
between coursework and exam. This type of split
often confuses the assessment of the learning
outcomes, thus the module was made completely
continuously assessed (CA) in the current session
(2002/2003). This CA uses two class test and
an assignment.
This year I included on-line
lectures, which are text version of the lecture
I would give within the lecture schedule. These
have provided a great success, and allow students
the opportunity to carefully review the presented
material. The module has now completed the Semester
1 for 2002/2003, so watch out for the next version
of the lectures which will appear here. The next
revision of the module will hopefully have more
material on network design, wireless networks,
and mobile networking. If you want you can access
some of the material from the WAP page of buchananweb.co.uk/cnds.wml.
