communications system are rare to find infresh university graduates without industry experience. Even after completing a PhD degree inelectrical engineering, graduates often lack implementation or advanced programming skills andhave trouble assimilating the constraints of real-time systems. At the university, a student learnshow to solve a particular problem, analyze the available solutions and develop alternativeapproaches. But, until actually implementing an algorithm and facing the practical challenges interms of complexity and performance, the student does not fully understand the true differencesand practical implications of selecting one algorithm over another. Standard-specificimplementation, compliance and performance assessment would thus be a
