Weekly status:

Include discussion of what you accomplished this week, who you contacted, what decisions were made, what obstacles were identified, how they are being addressed.

This week completed the sixth full week we have been working on our Senior Design Project. This week:

· We had our usual group discussion, where we talked especially about our progress, the project proposal, and future steps to be taken in our project.

· We handed in our proposal this week. We are waiting for responses. In the meantime, we are continuing our work on the simulation. We have a code for matlab that we are currently working on. In addition to matlab we are also looking into Opnet, which was once suggested to us as a possibility by Prof. Tureli.

· This week we have to make an appointment with Prof. Tureli to discuss our progress and so that he can take a look at our matlab code and make some suggestions.

· The due date for DURF is soon approaching so we have to make some final preparations for that. One of our team members plans on attending a DURF Proposal Writing Workshop this week and then we'll see how we can change our proposal according to their requirements.

· Due to the amount of work that we have had to do over the past couple of weeks, we haven't finished with the design of our website. So, this week is time to continue work on that aspect of our project.
