FSU CIS 6935 (Spring 2004)
Operating Systems Reading Group

Seminar: Monday, 5:15pm - 6:30pm, LOV 103
Instructor: Andy Wang (awang@cs.fsu.edu)

[Jan 12] Welcome to CIS 6935!

[Jan 12] If you are interested, please sign up for COP 5611 (advanced operating systems)

The field of operating systems has been a fertile ground for the experimentation and validation of innovative design principles. Peer-to-peer paradigms, ubiquitous computing, and self-administering systems are some active areas in which research results will have far-reaching implications in our daily lives. This reading group is intended to serve as an informal and flexible forum to discuss recent OS advances (from SOSP, OSDI, and so on). For those who are interested in or thinking about doing OS research, this reading group will also provide exposure to a broad range of OS topics.

This seminar is open to graduate students as well as undergraduate students. Active participants (presenters) of this course will receive one credit.

Students will take turns presenting papers with matching interests. Topics will include, but are not limited to the following:

• Peer-to-peer systems
• Ubiquitous computing
• Self-administering systems
• Reliable computing
• Security-related systems
• Storage systems
• Mobile computing
• Resource management
• Virtual machines
• Network systems
• Distributed systems
