Announcements about the class (readings, courseworks, lecture times) will be sent to these mailing lists. Students are responsible for ensuring they are registered on the list; the instructors do not manage them. To join a class mailing list, follow these instructions.
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 Peterson and Davie ("P & D"). 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.
Lecture Notes and Coursework 1 here.
