First year experiences of NSF REU grant: emerging issues in computer networking

In this paper, we describe our first year experiences of administering the NSF-supported Research Experiences for Undergraduates program award. Emerging issues in computer networking were the main focus of our program, which supported research projects of eight undergraduate students at Columbus State University in the summer of 2004. The main focus of this paper is on the lessons learned for successful future administration of the grant by shining the spotlight on select student projects completed within this program.
