To develop a literature review or research proposal, start with a single research paper that you find interesting and that is related to distributed operating systems in some way.
To begin selecting a paper, I suggest that you:
* search on Google Scholar using keywords relating to your interests, and/or
* browse the proceedings of major conferences that publish work related to distributed operating systems.
The main operating system conferences are [https://www.usenix.org/conferences/byname/179 OSDI] and ACM SOSP ([http://sosp.org/ sosp.org],[http://dl.acm.org/event.cfm?id=RE208&CFID=475138068&CFTOKEN=43996267 ACM DL]).  Note that not all the work here is on distributed operating systems!  Also, many other conferences publish some work related to distributed operating systems, e.g. [https://www.usenix.org/conferences/byname/178 NSDI].

To develop a literature review or research proposal, start with a single research paper that you find interesting and that is related to distributed operating systems in some way.

To begin selecting a paper, I suggest that you:

  • search on Google Scholar using keywords relating to your interests, and/or
  • browse the proceedings of major conferences that publish work related to distributed operating systems.

The main operating system conferences are OSDI and ACM SOSP (sosp.org,ACM DL). Note that not all the work here is on distributed operating systems! Also, many other conferences publish some work related to distributed operating systems, e.g. NSDI.

To help you write a literature review or the background of a research paper, read the following:
