In this project, we set up a mesh network testbed with nine desktops and three laptops. We install on desktop two Atheros radio cards and one wispy device to implement a flexibility test environment for mesh network, multi-radios network and measurement based network experiments. Each laptop has one Atheros PCMCIA radio card, which can implement the mobile situation for network measurement. The...

The current proliferation of software process models provides flexibility for organizations to deal with the unavoidably wide variety of software project situations, cultures, and environments. But it weakens their defenses against some common sources of project failure, and leaves them with no common anchor points around which to plan and control.
