The University of m ' n A ' " -Lexas at ban fintonlo Abstract -Ethercom is a project which introduces many s.spects of network communication, process synchronization, and scheduling at a level suitable for an undergraduate e operating systems or networks course. The project requires a Unix workstation equipped with a microphone and speaker.The project is developed in stages starting from simple 1/0 to the audio device. The final development is two-way corn. munication over a network using lightweight processes and asynchronous 1/0. When they have completed the project, students can sit at their workstations and converse with counterparts at remote sites. Variations and enhancements for the basic project are suggested including a monitor implement ation of communication. Libraries of simplified routines for 1/0 and network communication are also available via anonymous ftp.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
