• Here are some topics for your two- to three-page report that is due Friday, June 6. Each topic is illustrated by a single article or web page, but please don't limit your reading to just this web page: you should be coming up with a summary of the topic, not the article. For example, some of these articles refer to recently published scholarly papers, and you should read the original papers, not just the article. Some of the topics are fairly large; the intent is that you focus on the operating system aspects of each topic, and not other technical components, management, economics, or politics. Please submit a two- to three-page report in PDF form for the topic you chose.
