CSE 291 (I00): Advanced Studies in Classical Operating Systems (Winter 2020)

Date and Time: Mondays and Wednesdays, 3:30-4:50, Room CSE 4140

Course Instructor: Prof. Joseph Pasquale

This is a graduate class on operating systems where we discuss ideas in classical operating systems, in depth.

The prerequisite for the class is CSE 120 (Principles of Computer Operating Systems), or the equivalent offered at other universities. Having taken CSE 221 (Graduate Operating Systems) will be helpful, but not required (and in fact, may be taken at the same time).

As will be discussed in our first meeting, class attendance is very important, and your participation will form the primary contribution to your grade.
