Design and Implementation of a Web-based educational CPU Scheduling Simulator  

Koh, Jeong-Gook (Department of Computer Engineering, Tongmyong University)
Abstract
Operating Systems is a discipline which handles abstract concepts and techniques. However, most of OS courses have been textbook-oriented theoretical classes. Theoretical classes lead to the decline in the understanding of a lecture and hurt their concentration. Many instructors have tried various ways to help students understand lectures and arouse interests. This paper describes the design and implementation of a web-based educational CPU scheduling simulator which enables learners to set up various situations and simulate scheduling processes using a web browser or a smart-phone. After utilizing the implemented simulator for the class, the survey result for 2014's students shows that it is useful as an educational tool which enhances the understanding of a lecture and develops their problem solving skills.
