Visualization of student-implemented OS algorithms in Java
Jannik Fischbach · Journal of computing sciences in colleges · 2013
In can be difficult to maintain student interest in a theory-based operating systems course. One way of engaging students in such a course is to assign meaningful programming projects. This paper describes a Java-based visualization/implementation tool that enables instructors to demonstrate common OS algorithms and, more importantly, allows students to implement these algorithms themselves and observe their behavior in a simple simulated environment.
