Proposal for Term ProjectOperating Systems, Fall 2011 J. H. Wang Nov. 3, 2011
Term Project • Options • Programming of selected OS components • Focused survey of recent developments in OS on various platforms • 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
Possible Topics for Focused Survey • Topics should focus on selected parts in recent developments in OS or distributed systems, for example, • Android • Cloud computing • Multicore multiprocessors • Microsoft Windows 7 • …
Proposal: for Paper Presentation • A one-page description of which papers/topics you want to read and present • No team work allowed • You have to prepare a 20-minute presentation of the major ideas of the paper • The topic of the paper should be OS or distributed systems-related
Possible Sources of Academic Papers • Possible sources: • Conferences • OS Conferences: SOSP, OSDI, … • Distributed systems conferences: ACM PODC, ICDCS, … • Journals • TOCS: ACM Transactions on Computer Systems • TPDS: IEEE Transactions on distributed Systems • JPDC: Journal of Parallel and Distributed Computing • Distributed Computing • …
Submission • Due: after midterm (Nov. 17, 2011) • Please submit to our homework submission site • And your proposal is subject to reviews and possible suggestions on changes
