ECE 469 - Operating Systems Engineering

Students will learn to design and construct operating systems for both individual computers and distributed (networked) systems. Basic concepts and methods for managing processor, main memory, block-structured storage, and network resources are covered. Detailed examples are taken from a number of operating systems, emphasizing the techniques used in networked versions of UNIX. These techniques are applied to design improvements of portions of networked UNIX-based operating system. The improvements are implemented and their performance evaluated in laboratory experiments.
