Abstract

[Abstract]: In order to improve the student learning process, we present a framework to deﬁne attractivecomputer laboratory lessons in Engineering Degrees. Theoretical concepts are illustrated from a practical point ofview using a graphical user interface designed to establish the relationship between wireless network models andgraph theory concepts. In this paper, we will explain some simple routing protocols to illustrate both Dijkstra’salgorithm and the graph dominant set.
