Assignment 7

This describes the continuation of your projects.

Part 1

Your projects are to be available on the web, as noted earlier.  In order for all of us to access these projects we want them to be in a standard location.  Make it so that your web is accessible at http://www.cs.montana.edu/~youraccountname/cs518.  If you have already given a presentation ensure that your web is available asap.  For those of you still working on your presentation, put it up incrementally as you go.

Part 2

1.  By the end of the semester, your projects should be available, with all links working, as a self-contained web that you can turn in to me (you give me all of the pages in your site, not just a link to your site).  That is, I should be able to include your site as part of this CS 518 site with a single link to your home page.

2.  Your project should be polished, not left as originally presented.

3.  In polishing your project, view the target of your web site as computer science seniors who have had the undergraduate operating systems course. That is, you may assume that readers will have studied the concepts in theory that we are presenting in more depth and with an accompanying description of how these concepts are realized in an actual operating system.  Be sure to identify everywhere necessary the operating system and release that you are describing.

4.  Include graphics that describe the concept you are presenting as appropriate.

5.  It is ok to include supplementary materials in your web.  For example, you can include a PowerPoint attachment for students to bring up and view in PowerPoint.   However, it is important that there be a web description as well.

Part 3

A second thrust of your assignment is to be actively involved in the review and improvement of all of the projects.  You are to consider the presentation given by each person in the class, look at his/her corresponding web site, and provide him/her with constructive feedback that will help him/her clarify issues and make the site better.  These can be simple comments like, "I think you explained ... quite well," "I couldn't quite understand ... from your presentation," "here is a link that I think might be useful in your presentation," and so forth.  The can also be more detailed comments if you understand something from Linux well that might shed light on a particular presentation.

I do intend to make these projects available to students in the CS 418 class (and others) next go-round.
