MOSS based Methodology to Building an Operational System for MIPS Simulator
Resumo
The teaching of Operating Systems (OS) has the challenge of joining theory and practice, at the same time keeping students stimulated. But how to do this without drowning students in millions of lines of code from the real OS or abstract too much just using animations without giving them the experience to create their algorithms and seeing them in action? In this paper, we present the MOSS methodology, which students develop their own OS completely integrated with the traditional MARS simulator. This methodology has been applied since 2015 and the impact on the grades and evasion rate has been very satisfactory.
