Collaborative Research: Emulation Infrastructure and Material for OS/Network Classes

Emulab分布式操作系统模型（由犹他大学开发）是一种为操作系统课程提供完全灵活、共享、动手实验的方法。该项目正在与犹他大学合作开发一种“教育用模拟器”设施（称为Edulab），以定制他们最近在用于教育的轻量级模拟器系统（Emulab-lite）上的工作。这使得这些廉价的轻量级系统，以及新开发的课程材料，可以随时免费提供给世界各地的学院和大学。该项目正在为Emulab软件添加新功能（包括一个Web界面），使教师更容易创建和评分作业，减少教师和学生的陡峭学习曲线，并使学生更容易调试他们的项目。

Computer Science (31)The Emulab distributed operating system model (developed at the University of Utah) is a way to offer a completely flexible, shared, hands-on laboratory to the operating systems course. This project is developing an "educational Emulab in a box" facility (called Edulab) by working with the University of Utah to tailor their recent work on lightweight Emulab systems (Emulab-lite) for use in education. This is making these inexpensive lightweight systems, along with newly-developed course materials, readily and freely available to colleges and universities worldwide. The project is adding new features to the Emulab software (including a Web interface) that are making it easier for faculty to create and grade assignments, reducing the steep learning curve for both faculty and students and making it easier for students to debug their projects.
