Reducing Boot Time - Operating System

  1. Using Google Scholar, identify at least ten peer-reviewed scholarly articles that are relevant to your
    allocated topic (see below for topic allocation) of operating system research (1% per paper, to a limit of
    10%), and produce properly and consistently formatted references for them to appear at the end of
    your report (1% per paper, to a limit of 10%).
  2. For each paper, write a brief summary of the paper (1% per paper, to a limit of 10%), including its
    contribution to the study of operating systems, i.e., describing what they have done (1% per paper, to a
    limit of 10%), and any open problems that remain (1% per paper to a limit of 10%), and their
    relationship to the other articles you have identified in (1) (1% per paper to a limit of 10%), or optionally
    also to other articles (1% per paper to a limit of 10%).
  3. Write a introduction or abstract that summarises the research you have undertaken (5%), referencing
    each of the ten papers at least once (0.5% per paper referenced, to a limit of 5%), and that results in a
    connected narrative relating the identified articles to one another, for example through comparison or
    contrasting their results (10%).
  4. Write in a confident, clear and coherent manner, appropriate for academic writing (10%). While no
    particular word-count is required or expected, it is anticipated that this report will be approximately
    1,500 – 2,500 words in total, allowing for approximately 100 - 200 words per article summary, plus 200 –
    500 words for your abstract. The word count of the bibliography is not included in this total.
