In particular we will adopt as ourcase study the software system associated with a World Wide Web server.The course will consist of code walk-throughs and lectures. Codewalk-throughs will include: at the kernel level(namely in <!WA4><A HREF="http://www.linux.org">Linux</A>),the network, file system,and process scheduling functions; and at the application level,one Web server (<!WA5><A HREF="http://www.apache.org">Apache</A>).Lectures will cover research issues in server design,performance modeling, and simulation techniques. This seminar willbe a prerequisite or corequisite for participating in the CommonwealthServer Project, which is being led by the instructors; however anystudent who is interested in studying the implementation of anetworked computer system is invited to attend. We will be askingattendees to be notetakers for a week. As a notetaker,your job is to keep track of the main themes of the discussion and any interestingpoints made by any of the participants.<P>Participation in this seminar is by encouragement/consentof one of the instructors.Students taking this course for credit will be expected to complete arelated project chosen in consultation with one of the instructors. Theproject cannot serve also as a Master's project, however, if a two-phaseproposal is accepted by the instructor the second phase can serve as a MSproject. Students may form teams to work on projects, however, the projectscope must scale linearly with the team size, and work must be explicitlyload balanced in a fair way. It's also OK to take this course for nocredit, but to use it to lead on to an MS project during a subsequentsemester.<P>We will schedule a brownbag (or two) at the end of the semester.Eachstudent participating will be asked to talk for a shorttime (10 mins) on their project or on a related topic.<P>Finally,for more information on the Commonwealth Server Project, follow<!WA6><A HREF="http://www.cs.bu.edu/faculty/crovella/projects/commonwealth.html">this link</A>.<H2>Course Schedule</H2>Here's the proposed week-by-week schedule of topics we'd like to cover.During weeks 5 through 9 our code walkthroughs will take us through version2.0.10 of the <!WA7><A HREF="http://www.linux.org"><b>Linux kernel</b></A>(see <tt>linux-2.0.10/</tt> under<tt>/sw/course/cs835-f96/</tt>).During weeks 10 and 11 our code walkthroughs will be throughversion 1.1.1 of the <!WA8><A HREF="http://www.apache.org"><b>Apache server</b></A>(see<tt>apache_1.1.1/</tt> in the same place).If you're a presenter or a scribe for a particular week,please mail your notesto <!WA9><A HREF="mailto:djy@cs.bu.edu"><tt>djy@cs.bu.edu</tt></A> so that they can be linked to this homepage.<UL><LI> <b> Week 1 (9/9) - Research Problems in Networks and Computer Systems</b><br>Presenter: Mark Crovella<!WA10><A HREF="http://www.cs.bu.edu/faculty/djy/cs835/week1.txt"><b>Notes</b></A>; Scribe: Mark Crovella<LI> <b> Week 2 (9/16) - Review of Related Work in Networks and Computer Systems</b><br>Presenters: A.
