	You will START your Survey Paper study and Project this week.
	The survey paper study and project are intended as a useful prototype experience for those going on to advanced design work or research.
	First, you have to determine your project partner(s) if you want to do a team project and your main technology/topic.
	The maximum number for the team size is 3. As usual as the number of team members increases, the required effort and quality of projects must increase.
	After you have decided your team, send the names of your team members to me by email so that I can put the names into the tables given below.
	The current project teams, their web sites (optional), the main project topics and the project names are given in the table below:

 

	You have to make a decision on your main technology/topic on Java-based network programming from the list given below. This list is not final and updated in the coming days... MOBILE AND WIRELESS NETWORK APPLICATIONS 1. Java Based Wireless Applications Development and J2ME 2. Developing a Bluetooth Application 3. JINI PATTERNS 4. Patterns for Concurrent and Networked Objects (Patterns Part) 5. Development of Design Patterns Based Distributed Applications (Application Part) 6. J2EE Design Patterns Based Distributed Applications DISTRIBUTED OBJECTS 7. RMI Based Distributed Applications 8. EJBs Based Distributed Applications 9. CORBA and Java Based Distributed Applications WEB PROGRAMMING 10. Java Web Programming: Servlets/JSP 11. Java and XML Based Network Applications 12. Java-Based Web Services and SOAP PEER-TO-PEER APPLICATIONS 13. Development of a P2P Application Using JXTA OTHERS 14. Security and Java 15. Messaging Applications with JMS (MOM - Message Oriented Middleware)
	Because each team will work on a different technology/topic, the main topics/technologies shown above will be given to groups according to first-come first-served principle.
	Second, you will start to read some academic papers and technical documents about your main topic/technology to prepare a Survey Paper.
	Some Internet sources for searching and finding papers related to this course are listed here.
	Third, you will define a project which can be finished within about one month.
	During the process of learning the project topic, design and implementation of the project and finally documentation, you will produce some work products and perform weekly important project activities. These work products and activities will be posted on this page.
	The first activity is to make a good research on your topic and to learn the required background for the project and prepare a Survey Paper and Project Proposal.
	Before you start your readings you have to show your papers and technical documents to me and talk to me.
	The deadline for submission of Survey Paper and Project Proposal is 5 December 2003.

    Project Web Site

	The optional but a very important activity for any project is to design a project web site.
	This site will be a main communication mechanism of your project team with me and other teams.
	It will be updated weekly.
	The typical contents of a project web page may include the following: - The project name, group members - The short and long description of project - The start and end of the project - The produced work products including source code - Web links and other related resources for the project topic - The lessons learned during the project
