CRK WRK ProjectOZ Overview: Windows Academic Program Components Windows Operating Systems Internals Curriculum Resource Kit (CRK) - presentation slides, experiments, labs, quizzes and assignments for introducing case studies from the Windows kernel into operating system courses. Windows Research Kernel(WRK) – the core kernel sources and binaries integrated with an environment for building and testing experimental versions of the Windows kernel for use in teaching and research; NT design Workbook containing over 40 specs; 7 Projects. R E S E A R C H I N S T R U C T I O N ProjectOZ - an operating systems project environment that uses the native kernel interfaces of Windows to provide simple, clean, user-mode abstractions of the CPU, MMU, trap mechanism, and physical memory that can be used to perform experiments in operating systems principles. Pilot version
