Web Page: http://www.ecst.csuchico.edu/~broggioEmail: [email protected]: Operating System Concepts 7th Edition, Silberschatz, Galvin, and Gagne, John Wiley, ISBN 0-471-69466-5Course Description: Operating system fundamentals, including history, process and thread management, concurrency with semaphores and monitors, deadlocks, storage management, file systems, I/O, and distributed systemsSyllabus (continued) Course Schedule: Coverage of material should include the first twelve chapters of your textbook. Anticipated Grading: Exam 1 20%Exam 2 20% Exam 3 20% Homework 20%Programs 20% There will be no set schedule for exams. When we arrive at an appropriate exam place, I will schedule the exam. But I can be quite flexible here. One day is as good as another.Syllabus - HomeworkHomework:Homework assignments will be posted on my webpage along with anticipated due dates. It is anticipated that there will be a number of specific homework assignments. Most of these will likely come from the end of the chapters we study, but perhaps not all. If sufficient homework assignments are not accumulated over the course of study, then the other percentages below will be raised to 25% each and the homework undertaken will be used to slightly raise / lower your earned grade.Syllabus - Projects Projects: Programming projects will be posted on my webpage along with anticipated due dates and additional guidance as necessary. Satisfactory completion of programming projects is required. C++ or Java is preferred, but other languages approved in advance by the instructor may be used.Syllabus – Lecture Presentations Lecture Presentations: Will all be done using power point slides. While these are provided by the book publisher, I will be supplementing them very significantly from time to time. You may download the publisher’s slides by accessing their web page. I will also post my ‘take’ on these slides (from which the live lectures will occur) on my webpage.Syllabus – MoreMore:If you have any questions along the way, please do not hesitate to email me at any time. I am very attentive to my email and will respond right away. Questions might arise from my presentation of the materials, homework, programmingassignments, exams, or other items.This is a super course and an absolutely essential course for computer science students and practitioners. Work hard and have fun. We’ve lots to learn! End syllabus.Detailed Power Point SlidesDetailed Power Point Slides•Note: The author has supplied a first cut at power point slides for students and instructors alike.•As is my want, I will modify them considerably to reflect items that I feel need more emphasis or clarification and in some cases, elimination.•My slides tend to be very ‘busy’ and contain considerable detail. I like to make them self-contained. –While they are likely not good for formal presentations to professional groups, they tend to serve the purpose of instruction reasonably well.–I will talk from them as you will see from my presentations.My Web Page and its ContentsMy Web Page•www.ecst.csuchico.edu/~broggio•All my power point slides will be copied to this web page for your offline reference, if you wish.•All homework assignments, syllabus, helpful links, etc. will all be found on this web site.
