Computer Science 432/563 Schedule

"SG&G" indicates readings from Operating Systems Concepts Essentials, 2nd Edition, by Silberschatz, Galvin, and Gagne. Additional readings will be given occasionally. Links will be added here to an outline for each lecture, the full text of each lab assignment, PDFs of my notes for each topic, and to copies of additional readings when available electronically. Note: all assignment and exam dates are subject to change, and are provided only as a general guideline until the actual lab assignment or exam is handed out in class.
