S-38.158 Special Assignment of Protocol Design (1 cr)

New for spring 2003:

18.6.2003: Grades for the assignments returned during spring 2003 are here.

9.4.2003: The fourth and last meeting is held on monday 28.4.2003 at 12:15 - 14 in lecture room ST1 (Otakaari 7 A). This lecture room ST1 is located in the neighboring building at the rear side of the department of electrical engineering. You should have already received more concrete information of the location through E-mail. In this meeting groups are expected to return their work, or explain the status of the work, which hopefully is almost done.

26.2.2003: Third meeting is held on wednesday 12.3.2003 at 12 - 14 in E220. In this meeting all groups are expected to have done at least part of the exercise work. There should no more be any surprises about the suitability of tools for the chosen exercise topic. If some groups have already finished their work, the final work can be returned during this meeting.

8.1.2003: First meeting is held on wednesday 15.1.2003 at 12 - 14 in E111.

8.1.2003: Second meeting is held on wednesday 22.1.2003 at 12 - 14 in E111.

Course Information Spring 2003

Meetings: There will be four (4) meetings during the spring term 2003:

• wednesday 15.1.2003 at 12 - 14 in E111: first meeting
• introduction and general information about the content of the assignment
• division of students into groups of 2 - 3 persons
• after this first meeting groups should spend some time defining an interesting topic
• wednesday 22.1.2003 at 12 - 14 in E111: second meeting
• selection of the topic for the assignment
• third meeting (at the mid of the lecture period, e.g. during the first half of March):
• the purpose of this meeting is to give feedback and to discuss possible problems when the assignment is still being done
• fourth meeting (at the end of the lecture period, e.g. at the end of April):
• final feedback before returning the assignment

• Content:

This is a small programming or design assignment that you do in groups. The exercises in S-38.157 and S-38.151 were small and you probably did not learn anything well enough to use it. This course is intended to fix it.

The purpose of S-38.158 is that you have taken S-38.157 or S-38.151 and were interested in some of the presented technologies enough that you would like to do an exercise on one of them. This exercise should teach you 40 hours (= 1 cr) more about the chosen technology, but it is self-study

1) You pick up a technology from the areas of the two courses.
2) You invent of some small task you could do (design, implementation, testing), or you ask teachers to give a small topic from the technology.
3) You make the exercise either in the computer classes our department, or somewhere else.
4) You write a report and return it.

• What could be the assignments:

a) Design using Tau tools in MSC, SDL some small protocol, generate a TTCN test set for it, put ASN.1 definitions for the PDUs. You can invent a small protocol yourself, for instance, it could be a simple transport protocol.
b) Design using Tau UML tool a protocol. Implement it on a CORBA platform. (Find some freeware CORBA ORB and install it somewhere.)
c) Make some service with WAP or J2ME, but document it nicely with sequence diagrams, error cases, PDU definitions etc. so that it is well designed.
d) Make some Mobile agent based service, use UML to design it, etc.

In general, invent some - preferably very small and trivial- protocol or service, make for it a good design and implementation following some design process. You should learn how to use some design process and tools with some technology. It is better if you select a technology you do not know already too well, to learn more.

Depending on your background, you can do this in an easy or hard way: Easy way: Look at the exercises with Tau on S-38.157. Your own protocol could be just like a sample protocol in one of the tutorials. Look at the tutorials, modify the protocol to your own problem, do the same steps as in the tutorials. Then you designed your protocol in the ITU-T/ETSI method. Hard way: Take some technology nobody knows and specify an original major protocol completely.
