Hands-On Experience with System Software: An Integrated Networking and Operating Systems Laboratory

计算机网络和分布式操作系统的课程很少为学生提供实际的实践经验。随着计算机技术进入以多媒体通信和高性能计算为特征的新时代，这种不足变得越来越明显。必须在本科阶段进行改革，以跟上理论和实践技能的发展。为了应对这些变化，开发了一系列计算机网络和操作系统课程。这一创新课程的成功在很大程度上取决于该项目，该项目为建立现代网络和操作系统实验室提供资金。这个实验室促进了网络安装，系统管理和测试，多媒体（特别是音频/视频）流量控制和操作系统管理的实验。

Courses on computer networks and distributed operating systems rarely provide students with realistic hands-on experience. As computer technology moves into a new era characterized by multimedia communications and high-performance computing, this deficiency becomes more and more significant. It is imperative that changes are made at the undergraduate level to keep up with the evolution of theoretical and practical skills. A series of courses in computer networks and operating systems has been developed to address these changes. The success of this innovative curriculum depends to a large extent on this project, which funds the establishment of a modern networking and operating systems laboratory. This laboratory facilitates experiments with network installation, system administration and testing, multimedia (specifically audio/video) traffic control, and operating system management.
