Overview

15-712 is a graduate course in operating systems. The goals are:

Please note: This course is open to SCS Ph.D. students. Other students may be admitted by the permission of the instructor; please attend the first few sessions to see if you're interested. Enrollment will be limited to 24 students to ensure sufficient "face-time" for project meetings.

This course assumes a basic familiarity with operating sytems concepts. The course will consist of a reading/lecture/discussion component and a project component. The class will cover approximately 40 research papers. Some of these papers will introduce students to the basic principles on which modern operating systems and distributed systems are based. Others will cover more recent work to explore the state of the art and observe the evolution of these systems over time.

Students are expected to read papers before the class and participate in the discussion during the class.
