CSE 221 is a 4-unit core graduate subject with lectures based on paper
discussions, homeworks, a final, and a term project. The purpose of this course
is to teach computer software system structures from a design point of
view. We will look at different structuring techniques, and we will
examine their usage in both important historical systems and in modern
systems.
In addition to learning about different system structures and different operating systems, you will learn:
- How to read a research paper in an objective manner.
- How to write a critical analysis of the research described in a paper.
- How to articulate your understanding of and insights into a research paper.
- How to synthesize research themes and topics across multiple papers.
Prereqs: CSE
120 or equivalent undergraduate course
(or consent of instructor) and substantial programming
experience with C/C++ for term project.
