Overview

Software Defined Networking (SDN) transforms network design by introducing a clean, open interface between networking devices and the software controlling them. We explore SDN through classic and recent papers, and a final project.

Grading

There are no exams in this class. The course grade will be determined based on:

  • Reviews and class presentations/discussion (50%): Students are expected to write reviews for each class. One or two students will give a presentation and lead the discussions in each class.
  • A research project (50%): The semester-long project is an open-ended systems research project. Project topics are of your choice but should be related to cloud computing and data centers. Projects should be done in groups of two or three and include a systems building component.

    • Statement for Students with Disabilities

    Any student requesting academic accommodations based on a disability is required to register with Disabil- ity Services and Programs (DSP) each semester. A letter of verification for approved accommodations can be obtained from DSP. Please be sure the letter is delivered to me (or to TA) as early in the semester as possible. DSP is located in STU 301 and is open 8:30 a.m.5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. The phone number for DSP is (213) 740-0776.

    Statement on Academic Integrity

    USC seeks to maintain an optimal learning environment. General principles of academic honesty include the concept of respect for the intellectual property of others, the expectation that individual work will be submitted unless otherwise allowed by an instructor, and the obligations both to protect ones own aca- demic work from misuse by others as well as to avoid using anothers work as ones own. All students are expected to understand and abide by these principles. Scampus, the Student Guidebook, contains the Student Conduct Code in Section 11.00, while the recommended sanctions are located in Appendix A: http://www.usc.edu/dept/publications/SCAMPUS/gov/. Students will be referred to the Office of Student Judicial Affairs and Community Standards for further review, should there be any suspicion of academic dishonesty. The Review process can be found at: http://www.usc.edu/student-affairs/SJACS/.
