* 3004 will still include team work but will have a course load commensurate with a half credit course.  No course description change.
* Project for fall
** investigate team-based honours projects
** getting students involved in projects/research in third year
** research & design honours projects (dual track, one for going to industry, other for going to research)
** What are the learning objectives of the honours project?

Possible Course Changes

3000: Operating Systems

  • Old: A first course in operating systems stressing fundamental issues in design: process management; memory management; process co-ordination and synchronization; interprocess communication; real-time clock management; i/o device drivers; file systems; frame-level network communication. Assignments involve the use, modification, and extension of a multitasking operating system.

Precludes additional credit for SYSC 3001. Prerequisites: one of COMP 2402, COMP 2002 or SYSC 2002, and one of COMP 2003 or SYSC 2003.

  • New: Operating Systems and Computer Architecture - Operating system implementation course stressing fundamental issues in design and how they relate to modern computer architectures. Assignments involve the modification and extension of a multitasking operating system.

Precludes additional credit for SYSC 3001. Prerequisites: COMP 2401, one of COMP 2402, COMP 2002 or SYSC 2002.

3007: Programming Paradigms

  • Old: An introduction to functional and logic programming. Topics include: semantics of functional programming, assignment-free programming, the meta-circular interpreter, recursive functions, Prolog, backtracking, cutting, negation.
  • New: An introduction to alternative programming methodologies. Topics may include functional, constraint-based, concurrent, and logic programming.
