Proposal for Term Project Operating Systems, Fall 2011 J. H. Wang Nov. 3, 2011
Term Project Options 1.Programming of selected OS components 2.Focused survey of recent developments in OS on various platforms 3.OS-related academic paper presentation Requirements –For option 1, it could be team-based with 1-2 persons –For options 2 and 3, you should do it on your own, NOT team- based –A schedule will be arranged for both paper presentation and system demonstration –A proposal is needed after midterm (Nov. 17, 2011) Introduction, methods used, experiment designs
Proposal: for Programming Projects A one-page description of your idea about term project – Introduction : an overview of the problem that you ’ re trying to deal with – Methods : possible issues in the main problem and the principal ideas of your ways to solve them – Experiment : design of your experiment to verify your idea –For team members: the names and the expected responsible parts of each individual member should be clearly identified
Possible Topics for Programming Projects Programming of selected OS components –CPU scheduling algorithms (Ch.5) –Deadlock avoidance algorithms (Ch.7) –Page replacement algorithms (Ch.9) –Disk scheduling algorithms (Ch.12) –… Any topic you think interesting and non- trivial to build from our optional Programming Exercises
Proposal: for Focused Survey A one-page description of which topics you want to survey and present –No team work allowed –You have to prepare a 20-minute presentation of the major ideas of the topics in your survey –The major topics that you will focus in the recent developments of OS or distributed systems
