The textbook for this course, Operating System Concepts, by Silberschatz and Galvin, is the new fifth edition of the most popular textbook in the field of operating systems. We'll work through 15-20 chapters of it, reading 20-25 pages per lecture. Please keep up on the reading!
You are responsible for everything in the reading assignments, whether or not I discuss it in a lecture. You are also responsible for checking my class Web page at least once a week or so; I often post assignments, corrections to assignments, solutions to assignments, etc. there.
