Course Description:

The course objectives for Praktikum Telematik (UnivIS# 99030) include (but are not limited to) the following:

• Learning to architect, develop, and test an example network application based on the TCP/IP network infrastructure.
• Learning to work effectively in a team environment and project-style development.
• Developing your written and oral communication skills in English.
• Becoming proficient with software development tools and networking environments, using standard programming language C/C++/Java/... and tools (such as CVS, Eclipse).
• Integrating everything you have learned in your other computer science courses.

The course is organized as several independent projects, each consisting of 3~4 students (you have to choose a project and your co-worker by your own):

Project 1: Implementation and Unit Tests of a HTTP 1.0 Server

• File system based HTTP 1.0 server with thread pooling (no CGI interface nor support for content encoding; MIME and HTTP status through static configuration)
• Unit tests with coverage > 80 %
• Working with Lynx >2.8, Firefox >0.9, IE >5
• Use of available C libraries that don't concern HTTP or threading is encouraged

Project 2: Implementation of an RTSP-based media player (client) & server with player controls. Show your results by displaying some media (e.g., audio, mpeg movie). Additionally, provide adaptive playback mechanism based on the observed delay between the client and server (e.g. if you can see that congestion is slowing/losing packets, switch to a lower-quality, lower-bandwidth version of the media file).

For each projects students are required to organize the work effectively according to the streamline of a realistic project, including  milestones (task and time allocation, deliverables) definition, implementation and revision, reports of design, implementation, test results and intermediate results etc. Each project will elect a project leader who should be responsible for directing and regularly reporting the overall progress of the team.
