Software Systems Seminar, Summer 2009Prof. Kirsch, Department of Computer Sciences, University of SalzburgTime, Location: Wed 1-3 in T04, Techno-Z. First seminar is on Th, March 5, 2009. Check schedule (iCal) for updates. Brief Overview: What is the latest trend in operating system design? Is a virtual machine an efficient concept to multiplex hardware? How does a high-performance web server work? Is a multi-threading or an event-dispatching operating system or even a hybrid of the two the way to go? Why is real-time programming so difficult? Is synchronous reactive programming or traditional real-time scheduling the right model? If you are interested in these and other systems-related questions, sign up for the software systems seminar. The seminar provides a unique opportunity to meet other students and discuss hot topics in systems research. Pick a research paper (or problem) provided in class (or propose some other recent paper), read and understand it, and then share your experience with the group. Goals of the seminar: Learn how to read, understand, and present top research papers and their context. Prerequisites: Background in basic programming language and operating system concepts. Requirements: Each student selects a research paper (or problem) and gives a 45min presentation on the paper (or problem), and uploads the presentation to the seminar wiki. Seminar language is English.
