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

这个项目将分布式处理研究的进展纳入整个本科计算机科学（CS）课程，从CS 1开始。这涉及到构建这种新编程方法的垂直集成。因此，(1)每个CS的学生都将熟悉分布式处理；(2)学生有时间吸收初级课程中介绍的关键思想，并在高级课程中得到加强；(3)分布式计算的理论和技术可以在学生准备允许的情况下以及在课程中遇到适当的应用时呈现。在开始时，解决分布式计算问题的短模块将被合并到两个初级编程课程中。随后，额外的模块将被包括在离散数学课程、shell编程课程和操作系统课程中。高级课程将集成分布式计算作为学生标准CS工具包的一部分。专题课程，面向具有挑战性的应用，将修订，以利用学生的训练。在这项工作的第三年，将为全国各地的CS教师组织一次教师发展研讨会，以传播这项工作的成果。＊＊＊

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. ***
