There are several modules contained within this site, that support programmes running in the UK and Malaysia. The main aim of WWW pages for modules is to provide a central source so that every student who studies them receive the same experience. CNDS (Computer Networks and Distributed Systems) has the most developed page, and will be further enhanced over the next few months. The NOS (Network Operating Systems module) covers networking infrastructure (routers, operating systems and network operating systems). Both modules will run again in September 2004.

Well, why is research so important? Well it's important as its main objectives is to look to the future. This isn't quite one year or two, but it should look to five or ten years. Thus it is key to investigate new techniques which might not seem relevant at the present, but might have some potential for the development of new systems. The key to research is to improve a key element of a current system, using a novel technique.
