Fall 2018, CS 854: Experimental Performance Evaluation
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Mini Assignment:

Conduct experiments in which you try to obtain the
maximum possible bandwidth from two WiFi networks.
1) eduroam
2) some other network e.g., home, public space (Williams Cafe,
   Starbucks, McDonalds)

To try to determine the maximum speed (bandwidth) you are able to obtain 
when connected to each network. 
Please report all speeds in Mbps (megabits per second)
where 1 megabit is 1,000,000 bits (not 1024 * 1024 bits).

This is not meant to be an exhaustive study.
The purpose is to get you to run some experiments and 
  to start thinking about and exploring some of the
  issues that will be discussed in this class.

Please work individually as much as possible as there
will be more to learn from a diverse set of experiments
than if everyone ends up conducting the same experiments.
It will also make the presentations more interesting.

Create a presentation that will be given in class on Sept 14.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Logistics:

If you don't have a laptop to use for the presentation 
send me the PDF by Thursday Sept 13 at noon. 
Send the PDF of the presentation as an attachment.
I will put all presentations onto my laptop and bring it for
presentation in Friday's class (Sept. 14).
Your filename must all lower case and contain (in order)
your given name, a dash, and the first letter of your family name.
For example, my filename would be tim-b.pdf
Send the file as an attachment using the following subject line
Subject: 856 Assignment

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Assignment Presentation:

PRESENTATIONS will be done in class. 
They will be roughly max(7,120/N) minutes each 
(where N is the number of presentations).

MUST BE DONE IN POINT FORM
MUST email me PDF.
All presentations must have a least one slide containing each of
the 5 headings below.

The bullet points outlined below each heading are meant to 
provide you with some guidance. You must be sure
to include these as a minimum but also feel free to
include other important issues/aspects.

1) Environment 
 o What hardware and software was used?

2) Methodology
 o What is the metric of performance?
 o What experiments did you conduct and why?
 o How were the experiments performed?

3) Findings 
 o What results did you get?

4) Issues Faced / Lessons Learned 

5) Outstanding Questions / Problems
