Operating Systems

        Instructor:

Prof. Shie-Yuan Wang

Course description:

Presentation of operating system principle, design, implementation, and evaluation. Discussion of recent research. Overview of research techniques and methodology. With a focus on building Internet-related systems such as Web server, proxy, or dispatcher. In this course, you will:

1. Learn how to do system research
2. Learn how to criticize other people's work and be a good reviewer
3. Learn system principle and concept
4. Trace and learn UNIX system design and implementation
5. Have hand-on design and implementation experiences

Prerequisite:

1. "Introduction to Operating Systems" or equivalent.
2. "Computer Network" or equivalent.
