Research Seminar on Software Systems

Operating systems research has recently seen renewed interest in several areas. This seminar explores some of these new and interesting research areas, with a specific focus on their development and implementation in modern OS's such as Linux, FreeBSD, Window NT, and Solaris. Particular attention is paid to the implications of how these new ideas will affect our research. Discussion topics will include those of interest to participants. In depth exploration on at least one platform is required.
