CS380L: Advanced Operating Systems

Here is the presentation schedule. If you have a problem, please let me know sooner rather than later.
Here is a link to some review text which I liked. Also on the page is the average rank for each paper
Project proposal is due on Monday 9/26..
Midterm times have changed. Please refresh your mental cache of date and time.
Please look at the syllabus. Basically it says (1) we will read and discuss papers and do projects and (2) the class will be a lot of work. Although the class will be a lot of work, I hope you will find it enjoyable and rewarding. I am looking forward to teaching the class.
Handouts for the project are available, and project ideas (accessible only from within UT) are now available.

Please note that the schedule is still preliminary, especially after the first midterm. Expect change.
I added in-class time for you to present on your project. It will be a conference-style presentation, but only 10 minutes long.
Project topic seleciton are due in class on Monday, Sept. 12. I changed the form a bit to ask for more information.
NEXT CLASS MEETING IN NOA 1.126!
Please look at HW 1, which contains review questions. One of these questions will be given as a mini-quiz on Sept 7.
Please have critiques for Therac-25 and the UNIX paper for Sept 7. Also write a paragraph reacting to the argument in "Worse is Better." Please read How (and How Not) to Write a Good Systems Paper, but you do not have to review it. In the future, these reading assignments are implicit: every day in class, the schedule will list the paper(s) to be discussed that day, and you are responsible for reading and critiquing those papers.) Papers are only accssible to hosts in the utexas.edu domain.
