CS grads: the faculty voted to change the Preliminary Breadth Courses requirements in Fall 2000 to be systems, theory, and systems meets theory: therefore CS 252 is included with a set of systems courses such as CS262 or CS267.
In addition to the textbook, this course includes a number of readings from research papers. Such papers are important for a number of reasons, not the least of which is to understand that design decisions are not always black and white. Students will also undertake a major computing systems analysis and design project of their own choosing.
This term I hope to make the class very interactive. We have a very good text and a solid basis of original papers. Lectures will be a discussion around issues raised by the readings and a counter-point, rather than a rehash of the reading material. You must do the reading assigned in the schedule for each class prior to the class meeting and bring one question raised by what you have read. Questions will be collected at the beginning of class and will serve to guide how the lecture material unfolds and as a starting point for discussion.

More info from Westley Weimer: "The web requests (the only ones I have examined in detail) tend to be long text files of tuples: (client-ip, time, document requested, size, etc) with the exact fields and format varying by trace. One trace even comes with a C interface for reading their records. "
