Homework #5 Due 3/17/05
Chapter 5, Problems 1, 5 (do HLDA only)
1. According to Zang, Jue, and Mukherjee in the range of loads from 10-20 Erlangs is the there a significant difference between
the eight different wavelength assignments algorithms that were studied? Why?
2. According to Ramaswami and Sivarajan under what conditions does the HLDA algorithm work well, under what conditions does it not work well?
Homework #6 Due

- Advice on Writing
- Most colleges and
universities have a writing center, a place for students to talk about
their writing with trained peer consultants. At KU, we call our writing
centers Writer's Roosts. When you visit, bring your work in progress and
an idea of what you would like to work on-organization, support,
documentation, editing, etc. The Roosts are open in several different
locations across campus; please check the website at www.writing.ku.edu
