CSci 5103: Operating Systems

Schedule for CSci 5103

Lecture notes will typically appear in the morning on the day of class (sometimes earlier if I am lucky). Note: occasionally, the published lecture notes may deviate slightly from material presented in class. Notes will be a combination of text and powerpoint files. For text notes, figures may be omitted in the published notes. Some of the schedule is flexible based on the progression of the class. Check this schedule WEEKLY as dates could shift. If the notes from a given week are not completed, then you may safely assume they will be continued into the next week. The level of detail will be refined as we go forward. Also, will we be adding papers to read. Slides will be posted for the current week.
