290B. Advanced Operating Systems Topics
There are three overall pedagogic objectives for this course. The first is is for you, the student of the first part, develop an understanding of the structure and design principles inherent in different "successful" operating systems. Secondly, the course provides an opportunity for you to develop critical reading and presentation skills (at least with respect to the discipline of systems research but hopefully in general). Lastly, the course will furnish you with an engineering experience that is intended both to cement the understanding fostered by the previous two objectives, and to serve as a potential starting point for further research in this area.
