Lecture Organization
The undergraduate Computer Networks course has been restructured to provide more emphasis on
Wireless Local Area Networks. The impact on the lectures is that some material will be presented
"out-of-order" to enable the students to get an early start on the programming assignments.

Programming Assignments
All the programming assignments for Term B05 have been significantly revamped.
As a small token towards our awareness of the tragedies that have befallen the people of the U.S. Gulf Coast, all the programming assignments share a common theme of building software that could be seen in a context of providing technology assistance to disaster evacuees.
To keep the student programming effort reasonable for a seven week term, all the assignments except
Program 1 are to be completed by three-person teams.
