Security Issues in Wireless Networks and Hands-on training using OPNET

ABOUT THE PROGRAMME
Many wireless network in operation today were designed as networks of convenience for conference rooms and are now struggling to support the number of wireless devices and its applications. They are evolving at a rapid pace, making it increasingly difficult to future proof the network. This workshop is designed to help people to create an overall strategy to address the gap between their current wireless network deployment and the requirements for the future.
OPNET is very important tool for research, over a wide variety of networks. It is widely used across both academia and industries as a tool for designing, testing and evaluating new as well as existing protocols, architectures. OPNET Modeler is a large and complex software package. This workshop will cover features which are important in getting started with OPNET Modeler for research. This workshop is targeted towards participants, from academia, research student, industry, and those interested in simulation of network using OPNET.

THE OBJECTIVE OF WORKSHOP
It aims to provide an interactive platform for the academicians/industrial personnel in imparting and dissipating the latest technological advances in wireless area and to promote research interest in network security among students and research community.This technically excellent program bridges the gap between college curriculum and Industry demand.
