An old friend of mine is working on a Linux Quality of Service (QoS) related project called Dynamic Traffic Shaping (DTS). This project is a revamp of an old concept that he investigated while we're working together and that has given astonishing results on the field of IP QoS over point-to-multipoint and mesh network topologies.

I would like to wish you all the best for 2008! Hope that the new coming year can bring success to all your objectives, either professional, personal, academic and why not, also to the love ones! So the usual "A Happy New Year" clichet to you all and try to get NOT too lost on this year-end party! See you next year!

I'm proud to announce the first work released exclusively to adassumpcao.net!

Introduction to Linux Device Drivers is a course that introduces the basic principles of device driver development on the Linux kernel. This course is released under the Hands on the Kernel section and intends to provide the reader with the basic knowledge they need to develop the support for the vast majority of devices, introducing them to several tools and kernel sub-systems. Some of the hot topics are: the basic structure of a device driver, userspace communication , dynamic memory, asynchronous events, synchronization primitives and hardware communication.
