Weeks 20-24 (9th January, 2006 - 10th February, 2006):
Weeks 26-30 (20th February, 2006 - 22nd March, 2006):
Reading assignments appear in the calendar below on the day when their content will be covered in lecture. For this reason, students must complete the assigned readings before lecture.
Readings are drawn mostly from the two required texts: Saltzer and Kaashoek ("S & K") and Stallings. There are also a few research papers that are assigned reading; you will find links to electronic copies of these papers from the calendar. As with the readings from the required texts, students must print and read these research papers as preparation for the lecture for which they are assigned.
