  • This semester, (not limited to) we will focus on Internet of Thing; Android Emulator will be our main tool (require JAVA skill - eclispe)
    Links here are useful for Android programming: http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/emulator.html, http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html.
    Some of Android application: http://www.android.com/market/#app=com.wsl.CardioTrainer; http://androidapplications.com/
    However, we do not limit to Android platform. Iphone OS application, WII-based applicaiton, Kinect application, WP7 application AND Sensor Network are also possible.
    The quality of the project is to submit for NSC contest, Microsoft Imagine Cup, and Samart Innovation.

    Homework + Lab + Class Participation + Quiz25% +/- 5%
    Mobile and Wireless Networking Tools/Testbed15% +/- 5%(grading individually)
    The students are allowed to bring only "ONE" piece of A4 paper in each exam. The final exam material will be after the mid-term; however, all related contents will be also covered.
    The exam includes 1. True/False (+1, -1, and 0), 2. Numerical and Analysis, and 3. Fill in the blank.
    The final grade will be curved based on the overall performance of the whole class (probablistic clear cut-off point).
    Note that students are allowed to bring only "ONE" piece of A4 paper in each exam with additional non-memorized calculator
