Reading List

There is no textbook for this course. The course is based on a collection of journal and conference papers that describe the history and state of the art in operating systems. Lectures are pre-recorded and up on Canvas and in the videos the papers are discussed in approximately the order that they appear on the reading list below. You are required to read the papers listed in each class slot before watching videos/going to office hours. Professor Engler plans on holding office hours during the alloted class period so look for the Zoom link on the Google Group and on Canvas.
