The course teaches operating systems for embedded systems, mobile computers and a diversity of devices with network connectivity (internet of things). A significant component of the course are the hands-on lab assignments that will be done by the students using a state-of-the-art and open source operating system, namely Tizen (already in use in some of the Samsung smartphones: http://www.tizenphones.com/).
The goal of the course is to provide a platform for students to understand and develop hands-on knowledge of advanced operating systems. The course will be primarily taught by researchers from Samsung Research India. Tizen is an open source OS from Samsung. The course has a significant project component. A list of projects will be provided to the students. There are multiple tracks in the course, including, Multimedia, Network and Connectivity+Bluetooth, Web framework, Graphics etc.. Students will take a project in one of these tracks. Experts in each track will also come to guide the students from time to time.
The course is meant for those who are seriously interested in advanced OS and have strong hands-on grasp of operating systems at the level of CS330 or equivalent.
