CISE Educational Infrastructure: Distributed Processing Across the Undergraduate Computer Science Curriculum

9522537现在这个项目将分布式处理研究的进展融入到整个本科计算机科学(CS)课程中，从CS 1开始。这涉及到构建这种新的编程方法的垂直整合。因此，(1)CS中的每个学生都将熟悉分布式处理；(2)学生将有时间吸收初级课程中引入的关键概念，这些概念将在高级课程中得到强化；(3)分布式计算的理论和技术可以在学生准备好的情况下介绍，并在课程中遇到适当的应用程序。在开始时，两门初级编程课程将包含解决分布式计算问题的简短模块。随后，将在离散数学课程、外壳编程课程和操作系统课程中加入其他模块。高级课程将把分布式计算作为学生标准CS工具包的一部分。针对具有挑战性的应用的专题课程将被修订，以利用学生的培训。在这一努力的第三年，将为来自全国各地的CS教师组织一次教师发展研讨会，以传播这一努力的结果。***

9522537 Arnow This project incorporates advances in distributed processing research into the entire undergraduate computer science (CS) curriculum, starting from CS 1. This involves constructing a vertical integration of this new programming methodology. As a result, (1) every student in CS will be acquainted with distributed processing; (2) students will have time to absorb key ideas introduced in elementary courses and these ideas will be reinforced in advanced courses; (3) the theory and techniques of distributed computing can be presented as the students' readiness permits and as appropriate applications are encountered in the curriculum. At the outset, short modules addressing distributed computing issues will be incorporated into the two beginning programming courses. Subsequently, additional modules will be included in the discrete mathematics course, the shell programming course, and the operating systems course. Advanced courses will integrate distributed computing as part of the student's standard CS toolkit. Special topics courses, oriented towards challenging applications, will be revised to exploit the students' training. In the third year of this effort, a faculty development workshop for CS faculty from around the country will be organized in order to disseminate the results of this effort. ***
