The network design and concepts illustrated are taken from a master’s thesisresearch project at Southern Polytechnic State University (now part of Kennesaw StateUniversity) that investigated the performance of MPLS networks.The telecommunication lab at Southern Polytechnic State University is comprised primarily ofseveral Cisco-based routers (2600, 2800, and 2900 series) and switches, a reconfigurable systemof cables and patch panels, and various support

It was only the keywords and alphabetical strings thatwere used with a naïve-Bayes classifier from the Bayesian Knowledge Discovery project.3 The C4.5algorithm was also used4 and 20,816 cases were analyzed.A similar approach using updated tools could be effective when looking at the interaction betweenemployees in a support environment. There are two sources of text to be analyzed. First, there are chatsessions between employees. Second, when a second-level employee takes a call from a first-level, orsimply provides an assist, there are sets of notes that can be analyzed. The first-level employee shouldbe taking complete notes about the nature of the case and what troubleshooting did not resolve theproblem. Then the second-level

Unfortunately, theapproaches taken do not readily apply to the cybersecurity classroom. First, the content of thesecourses has remained fairly consistent from year to year and even from university to university.Second, given the number of students enrolled in these courses (the introductory programmingcourse in our program had over 110 students enrolled this past semester), researchers are able toconduct quantitative surveys and achieve statistically significant results over the course of a singlesemester and compare results from courses at various schools

intellectually may prevent them from creating an effective solution.The goal of our project was to create narratives (case-studies) that students could understand,relate to, and be engaged with, so they can be used as the contexts to learn problem-solving andprocedural programming skills in the flowcharting component of the PS course. Since studentsknow what is relevant to them, we selected a group of five students majoring in ComputerSystems to help us develop those narratives.The use of student-developed narratives affected performance in different flowcharting structures(sequence, selection, repetition) differently. Overall, the data suggests that the use of case studieswas beneficial for increasing performance in flowcharting assessments using

The NEES project also uses IaaS inthe form of VMware virtual machines that provide a secure development sandbox for NEESsoftware engineering and users.In the context of developing virtual clusters, Infrastructure-as-a-Service is the most relevant typeof cloud computing. Generally, IaaS systems provide a higher level of management above theindividual system level for collections of physical systems and virtual machines running in afinite set of physical computer nodes. There are several types of IaaS cloud computing packagesavailable today that can be used to develop a virtual high performance computing cluster.

This isa powerful tool that enables the instructor to create unique assignments, and facilitates for quickand efficient grading of complex configurations.3. ConclusionsInstead of having to choose using either PT or GNS3 for network development, it might be aneven better idea to use them both together. As previously discussed, both programs target distinctaspects of an overall project, and can be used to complement each other. PT can be used to createa networking plan that incorporates the internal and external functions of a network. PT couldfurther facilitate ease of assessment and automated grading. GNS3, on the other hand

The Kinect sensor is connected to this computer through USBport. We program under 64-bit Windows 7 operating system with Kinect SDK 1.7, XNAS40 aswell as EmguCV version 2.9.0. The programming IDE for this project is Microsoft Visual Studio2010 with .NET framework 4.0.We have 72 volunteers including 38 female and 34 male, and ask them to walk in front of thesensor back and forth.

important for educational institutions where enrollment is growing faster thanthe budget and the resource.After using BroadReach Extended, the students repeatedly express satisfaction with immediatelab experiment grading and the ability to use feedback to correct lab work and resubmit the lab toachieve the maximum grade.In the future, we would like to expand the BRE project and make the system more usable to agreater number of faculty teaching technical classes with labs. Grading and feedback scripts canbe difficult and tedious, and may not be possible for all faculty to create. A future BRE upgradeis intended to include a menu-driven module for less experienced faculty, and an advancedmodule that accepts complex programming statements for

designers who addressspecific needs in the domain including integrative systems design, Human-Computer Interaction(HCI), Information Assurance and Security (IAS), reliability, networking, web interactions andmuch more. Since these skills are all part of the IT university curriculum IT professionals have asignificant role to play in the design of these complex systems. In fact most of these skills arepart of the pillars and central themes of IT education7. It is revealing that the respected annualsurvey sponsored by EE Times and others8 indicate that over 50% of the projects includenetworking and more than 30% include wireless, but in this report the designers are classified ashardware, software or firmware engineers and their lists of design tasks
