Required Text: Stallings, William, Operating Systems, 8th edition, Prentice Hall, Recommended Texts: Tanenbaum, Andrew, Modern Operating Systems, 4th edition, Prentice-Hall, Inc Silberschatz, Abraham, Operating System Concepts, 9 th edition, Wiley, 2012 Glass, Graham and Ables, King, UNIX for Programmers and Users, 3rd edition, Pearson Education. UNIX, Windows, Linux, and C manuals. If you are serious about a subject it is always a good idea to have alternate sources of information. Many times a different author can describe a subject in an alternate manner that may help you understand a subject you are having difficulty with. For the recommended texts you can find earlier editions for less online or you might check at libraries. IV. Graduate Studies Bulletin Description: An introduction to the fundamental principles of operating systems in terms of resource management and machine virtualization. Topics include system services, process management, synchronization, threads, CPU scheduling, memory, device, and file management, and security. Integrated lab. Phillips FDU 1

Instructions and Formats for Homework Assignments and Laboratory Projects All homework assignments, projects and reports must be done neatly (i.e. computer generated, e.g. Word, Latex etc.) and submitted on time. Grading will be based upon the analysis as well as on the material. Work copied from the Internet or from a classmate will receive a grade of 0. Please state two references e.g. text, web (supply URL) for each homework answer. Remember DO NOT copy. Give the answer in your own words. Phillips FDU 5

6 X. Special Instructions No late assignments will be accepted unless you discuss it with me before the due date. Make-up examinations are available if a test is missed, IF arrangements are made with me before the test. XI. Attendance and Withdrawal Policy FDU academic regulations specifies the attendance policy. Students are required to attend class, arrive on time and participate in all courses for which they are enrolled. Class attendance and participation are essential to academic progress. Class attendance, participation in discussions and problem solving will be emphasized in this course. 5% of the overall course credit is earmarked towards this requirement. If you cannot attend a specific class, you must notify the instructor ahead of time stating the reason for missing the class. It will be your responsibility to make yourself aware of the course material presented and submit homeworks due for the missed class. Students who withdraw within the nine week period of a semester will receive a grade of W. Withdrawal after the ninth week is not permitted except for serious, documented, medical reasons or other unusual extenuating circumstances. XII. Academic Integrity Policy See pp of Graduate Studies Bulletin on this policy: Phillips FDU 6
