Description:
EECS 471 is a 4 credit ( 5 credits for graduate students ) course and covers network programming and systems programming from the operating system viewpoint. Special emphasis is given on standards based APIs, with explanation of typical interfaces.
The course work consists of:

• 4 Programming Assignments
• 2 Midterms
• 1 final

Tests will cover conceptual issues from kernel design and programming techniques covered in the class.

Prerequisites:
EECS 371

Topics:

• Process
• Interprocessor Communication
• Network and Network Protocols
• Distributed processing
• Network Programming

Academic integrity:

• Students who fail to demonstrate on tests an understanding of the programs they have handed in will fail the course.

• You are not to show your program to anyone nor to look at anyone else's program. You may discuss programming concepts but only in general terms.

• A word of caution : Unix gives read permissions on your files to everyone, by default. This means, unless you turn the permissions off, you run the risk of someone looking into your code.
