  abstract =     "The undergraduate operating systems course can provide
                 students with a valuable introduction to empirical
                 testing and experimentation. We have implemented a
                 process scheduling simulator designed to develop
                 student empirical skills while they are learning part
                 of the standard operating systems curriculum. The
                 simulator is written in Java and available for direct
                 experimentation via the World Wide Web. By accessing
                 the remote URL through an appletviewer, students can
                 permanently save input test data and simulator results
                 generated in HTML format. In one type of assignment,
                 students are given a hypothesis about process
                 scheduling and are asked to develop experiments to
                 support or disprove the hypothesis. In a second type of
                 assignment students are asked to develop their own
                 hypotheses. Not only did these assignments enhance
                 student understanding of process scheduling, but the
                 techniques exposed students to empirical approaches to
                 validation and testing.",
