Web site for Operating Systems Course 2016

The web site for the Operating Systems course has been created. However, it is still under construction and contents may be missing or inconsistent. Please be patient and keep checking constantly (as well as this page).

There are few things that the students taking the OS course should be aware of:

Rules and Policies

Due to the standardization demands from the school, the rules and policies on the exercise submissions and the grading scheme will be revised. They will be reflected on the course web site (as they will be build).

Textbook

We are going to use the following book as the textbook:

Modern Operating Systems, Global Edition, 4/E , by Andrew S. Tanenbaum, ISBN 10: 1292061421, ISBN 13: 9781292061429, Prentice Hall.

Please order your copy at the University Bookstore. The number of copies they will order initially is limited. Normally, buying through the university bookstore will get you deep discount.

The web page for Operating Systems 2015

Web page for this year's Operating Systems course has been created. The content may still be incomplete and/or inconsistent.

As mentioned before, the 4th edition of the Modern Operating Systems was published and now it seems that the Global Edition is also available. The problem is whether it is available for us (at a similar group discount price as 3rd Ed.). Any update will be posted on this page.

OS Course Page Updated

The web page for the Operating Systems course has been updated for this year (2014). However, the most contents are still tentative and they will be updated as the course schedule and other details are fixed. For the textbook, tt is quite likely to use the 3rd edition of the Modern Operating Systems because the publishing details of the 4th edition are not available yet.
