Week #1:  Introduction to kaPoW
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Week #2-3:  Code walkthrough of relevant kaPoW application
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Setup Geobyte's GeoNetMap on leela.cs.pdx.edu using MySQL.  
    o Distribution is located at ~gurkan/geobytes.

    o Ask me for the MySQL database password on leela

    o Test using a PHP script using leela's web server
      (/var/www/html).

  Create a PHP script that allows one to configure the web server's
  latitude and longitude and returns the geographic distance between 
  client and server via a MySQL call into the GeoNetMap database.
    o Sample perl script for calculating distance between two
      coordinates is located at ~gurkan/great_circle_distance.pl
  
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Week #4: 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Create a PHP script that delivers a page with links whose difficulties 
  are determined by the geographic distance between client and server.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Week #5:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Mock up a ticket-purchasing web-site with a configurable latitude
  and longitude.  Create a purchasing page with a purchase link whose 
  difficulty is determined based on geographic distance between client
  and server.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Week #8-9:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Develop an automated web client to experimentally validate the ticket
  system.  Have the client supply its IP address as a URL parameter 
  (e.g. http://leela.cs.pdx.edu/ticket.php?IPSRC=131.252.220.6).  Modify
  your PHP script to use this parameter to determine the difficulty of
  the puzzle being issued.  Upon receiving a puzzle from the server,
  emulate the solving of the puzzle via calls to a sleep function with
  a random time parameter determined by the puzzle difficulty that
  assumes each hash takes one microsecond.  For example, if Dc=100,
  then the web client will draw a random number uniformly from 0 to
  100 and then call call sleep/usleep based on that number.  Additionally,
  the web client should have the following:
  	o configurable client addresses
	o multiple threads to simultaneously emulate multiple clients
	o a mechanism for tracking which clients were able to get tickets

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Week #10 and Finals Week:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Show results of experiments that show how different difficulty algorithms 
  generate different ticket purchasing results for your clients.
