At UCL I do both undergraduate and MSc teaching. I teach the 2nd year undergraduate module Object-Oriented Programming II (OOP2) and the MSc Network and Services Management (NSM) module. I also contribute to the MSc Introduction to Telecommunication Networks (ITN) and IP Networks (IPN) modules.
- Object-Oriented Programming II - spring semester, 2nd year. This is a relatively advanced course on object-oriented programming using Java that builds on the 1st year's Object-Oriented Programming I.
- Network and Service Management - spring semester, MSc. This module is based on the equivalent module I was organising and teaching at Surrey, which is turn was based on the same course I had initially designed and was teaching at UCL in 1995-1997. My notes cover basic network/service management principles; distributed management models; the Internet SNMP, OSI-SM CMIS/P and OMG CORBA as basic technologies; network configuration for intra- and inter-domain traffic engineering; and frameworks and principles for quality of service management. My Surrey colleague Dr Michael Howarth does network configuration for inter-domain traffic engineering.
While at Surrey, I did mostly MSc teaching and I was responsible for the curriculum development of the Communications, Networks and Software (ex-Telematics)
MSc. I taught in the following three modules and I was the module organiser of the first and third module below. In fact, I am still teaching one third of the Network & Service Management and Control module below during the spring semester 2008.
- Principles of Telecommunication and Packet Networks - autumn semester, MSc. I taught roughly one-third of this course. My lectures covered: the telephone network and its evolution; introduction to packet networks and open systems; data transmission techniques; link layer principles; network layer principles, including virtual circuit and datagram approaches; overview and principles of X.25, SS7, Frame Relay, ATM and IP. Other lecturers were Professor Barry Evans (transmission principles) and Dr Peter Sweeney (teletraffic/queuing theory).
- Data and Internet Networking - spring semester, MSc and 3rd/4th year. I taught roughly one-third of this course. My lectures covered IP quality of service (Integrated and Differentiated services), the transport layer and upper layers & applications. Other lecturers were Dr Haitham Cruickshank (local area networks, security) and Dr Michael Howarth (internetworking, routing, multicast, ATM and MPLS).
- Network & Service Management and Control - spring semester, MSc. I taught two-third's of this course, the other one-third was taught by Dr Michael Howarth (network configuration for intra-domain, inter-domain and quality-of-service-aware traffic engineering). My notes covered: basic management and control principles; distributed management models; the Internet SNMP, OSI-SM CMIS/P and OMG CORBA as basic technologies; and TMN as a hierarchical management framework.
