OS Textbook (3rd edition for this year again)

Earlier, we mentioned that the 4th edition of the Modern Operation Systems had been published . However, its international edition has not been published yet and the availability is not clear at this moment. Therefore, we are going to use the 3rd edition as the textbook of our class again. Since the 4th edition (although only the hard cover) was already published, the 3rd edition became an 'obsolete' edition. Its availability should be limited and the potential students should order your copy at the university book store as soon as they start taking orders.

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.

FYI: Modern Operating Systems, 4th Edition

Modern Operating Systems, 4th Edition

A newer version of the textbook we have been using for the Operating Systems has been published as shown above. At this moment, it is not clear whether the international version (which is substantially cheaper than the North American edition) will be available in a timely manner at a reasonable price. Therefore, we have not made a decision of whether or not we are going to adopt this new version for the OS course in the Fall semester this year as well.
