Abstract

This paper describes a student project which is a major part of a senior level Operating Systems course at the Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne.

The project consists in conceiving and implementing an entire Operating System, where user jobs benefit from a simulated paged virtual memory on a DEC-LSI/11 based microprocessor. Students program in Portal, a modular high level language similar to Modula.

The positive reactions we have obtained from our students center on satisfaction in having participated in defining specifications and having implemented an entire system themselves.
