            HOW TO READ A RESEARCH PAPER Among the questions that you should ask yourself when reading a research paper are the following. 1. What is the research paradigm that the author is using?  Example paradigms    are psychological experiments, formalization and theorem proving, and    artifact design and construction.  If the paper is part of a well    established field, you should describe the field and its current state. 2. What is the problem area with which the paper is concerned?  For example,     Automatic Generation of Compilers from Denotational Semantic Descriptions    of the Source Code  would describe a research paper on compilation. 3. What is the author's thesis?  That is, what is he/she trying to convince    you of? 4. Summarize the author's argument.  That is, how does the author go about    trying to convince you of the thesis? 5. Does the author describe other work in the field?  If so, how does the    research described in the paper differ from the other work? 6. Does the paper succeed?  Are you convinced of the thesis by the time that    you have finished reading the paper? 7. Does the author indicate how the work should be followed up on?  Does the    paper generate new ideas. 8. Some papers implicitly or explicitly provide a new way of doing things or    of thinking about problems.  If your paper does so, describe the approach.
Course Description This course will discuss advanced topics and research issues in operating systems. Topics will be drawn from a variety of operating systems areas such as distributed systems and languages, networking, security, and protection, real-time and embedded systems, modeling and analysis, etc. We will take a broad view of systems research and consider common issues that emerge across operating systems, database systems, networked systems, distributed systems, mobile systems, and embedded systems. The design of computer systems -- whether building-size or hand-held, file system or database -- faces many common challenges and pitfalls. Fortunately, many of the principles and practices are common as well. This class will focus on identifying and understanding the enduring principles and practices in computer systems design and implementation, and will prepare students to carry our substantial independent systems research projects.
