Course Project

The course project will comprise 4 3 milestones (and one optional extra credit milestone) released here throughout the semester. You can find all the information for the project and the submission instructions in the template repository `README`.

Milestone 1

Template repository: https://gitlab.cs.uni-saarland.de/os/os-26ss/ms1-template

Submission deadline: 15.05.2026 ~~(13.05.2026)~~

Milestone 2

Template repository: https://gitlab.cs.uni-saarland.de/os/os-26ss/ms2-template

Submission deadline: 03.06.2026

Milestone 3

Template repository: https://gitlab.cs.uni-saarland.de/os/os-26ss/ms3-template

Submission deadline: 15.07.2026

Extra Credit Milestone

Template repository: reach out to Antoine via email

Submission deadline: 7 days after the final exam

This milestone is completely optional and not necessary to achieve the full grade. Only attempt it, if you are caught up on the other milestones, lectures, course reading and exam preparation. This milestone is a bit more work than milestone 3. If you achieve full points, this will be worth an extra 20% on top of the overall project score.

Late Submissions

We will apply a flexible slip date policy for late submissions. Each student is allocated an automatic extension of 4 calendar days for the entire semester. Students can use the extension on any project during the semester in (integer) increments of one day. For instance, you can hand in one project assignment 4 days late, or one assignment 2 days late and two assignments 1 day late. This extension is to be used for incidental occurrences, so please do not ask us for any extensions due to any incidental circumstances.
