1. AutoPerf: A Performance Analysis and Profiling Tool for Distributed Software Systems

This project will involve making extensions and enhancements to a tool we have developed 
as part of several MTPs. The tool was recently presented at WWW 2007. Expected work includes
adding features to the tool, validating it by using it on several testbeds and writing a 
report that can be published as a paper.

 The tool is written in Java, involves Network programming, multithreading, etc. Students 
must be familiar with performance (CS 681 or CS 462). Should be interested in creating 
good finished products.


2. Multimedia over mobile and wireless networks

This project will involve integrating admission control and mobility solutions proposed
and implemented as part of  previous MTPs, and making them work seamlessly with an
actual multimedia application. This is a purely implementation project - it will give you
lots of experience in tinkering around with networking stack of the Linux OS. Of course
you should have a flair and in interest in such stuff.
