Instructors:

Prof. Robert Morris

Prof. Samuel Madden

MIT Course Number:

6.033

Level:

Undergraduate

Course Description

This course covers topics on the engineering of computer software and hardware systems: techniques for controlling

complexity; strong modularity using client-server design, virtual memory, and threads; networks; atomicity and

coordination of parallel activities; recovery and reliability; privacy, security, and encryption; and impact of computer

systems on society. Case studies of working systems and readings from the current literature provide comparisons and

contrasts. Two design projects are required, and students engage in extensive written communication exercises.

Syllabus

This course makes use of Athena, MIT's UNIX-based computing environment. OCW does not provide access to this environment.

Course Meeting Times
