Sessional teaching may be available to be carried out in conjunction with any of the awards listed above. Applications for Sessional teaching should be made to the Head of Department. Distributed Operating Systems are Operating Systems that span a Computer Network, in such a way as to provide the users with a seamless entity, independent of the distances involved, or the number, power, or type of computers that form parts of the system. There are to date no such commercially-available systems, and still many open design questions. Such a study naturally involves a study of Computer Networks, of Data Compression, of Data Security, and of Distributed Data Bases.
Cost estimation is an important aspect of the management of software development projects.
Most cost estimation models require an estimate of the size of the program to be developed. Accurate size estimation is thus critically important. This research aims to identify relationships between attributes of a program that can be measured at successive stages of its development, and its final size. Dr Santha Sampath is at present involved in the acoustic phonetic analysis of different dialects of English. The purpose of this research to find out what are the parameters that would be required to recognise several dialects of English.
