252-0062-00L | Operating Systems and Networks | 8 credits | 4V + 3U | T. Hoefler, A. Perrig | |
Abstract | This is an introductory course on computer networks and operating systems, with a particular focus on networking in the Internet and monolithic operating systems like Linux and Windows. Network and OS programming at different levels is an integral part of the course. | ||||
Objective | This course is intended as an introduction to both computer networking and operating systems for computer scientists. Students will get a comprehensive overview of the key protocols and the general architecture of the Internet, as one example of more general principles in network design, and acquire hands-on experience in programming different aspects of a computer network. In addition, the course provides a full introduction to modern operating system design, including memory management, scheduling, I/O, protection, and so on. The architecture of Unix-like operating systems (such as Linux) is used as an example of more general principles in OS design. | ||||
Lecture notes | The slides for each lecture will be made available in the web pages of the course, along with additional reference material. | ||||
Literature | The networking material will be based on the following text book: Computer Networks (5th Edition) Andrew S. Tanenbaum, David J. Wetherall Prentice Hall; 5 edition (October 7, 2010) In addition, the following textbook provides useful background for the operating systems material in the course: Modern Operating Systems (3rd Edition) Andrew S. Tanenbaum Prentice-Hall, 2007 | ||||
