CS 515
Mobile and Wireless Networking
- Fall 2008 -

The content and the way the course will be conducted will not be very suitable for undergraduate students. Therefore, undergraduate students who are interested in taking a course on wireless/mobile networking should consider taking the CS 422 course (Wireless Networking Technologies and Applications) that will be offered in Spring 2009.

Instructor: Ibrahim Korpeoglu, x2599, korpe AT cs.bilkent.edu.tr, Schedule, Office Hours: Tue 15:40-17:30
