CS-202 / 8 crédits
Enseignant(s): Argyraki Aikaterini, Chappelier Jean-Cédric, Kashyap Sanidhya
Langue: Anglais
Summary
This course will teach operating systems and networks in an integrated fashion,emphasising the fundamental concepts and techniques that make their interaction possible/practical. Core lectures will be coupled with C programming lectures and assignments for hands-on experience.
Content
We will communicate these concepts and techniques through examples at different layers of the stack and draw connections/parallels between different aspects of computing systems.
