Structuring operating systems literature for the graduate course
ACM SIGOPS Operating Systems Review · 1982
This document contains several groups of bibliographic citations which are used in the graduate-level course entitled, "Advanced Operating Systems".The course is largely based upon journal literature in this area and is organized about two major goals.The first is to acquaint the student with the flavor and substance of research and development in Operating Systems.The second aim addresses a range of skills which are applicable to many subject areas.It may be loosely described by the phrase, "Learning to use the literature," and involves extracting the import from an article, experiencing the benefits of group inquiry, and putting the material in perspective.The long-range benefit here lies in convincing the student that he can indeed use the professional literature to bring his understanding of a subject area up to "the state of the discipline".
