• Labs 4A, 4B, and 4C are available.
• Here are some topics for your three-page report. Each topic is illustrated by a single article taken from ACM Computing Surveys (CSUR), where your job is to summarize and critique the survey article (for example: what are its strengths? did it overlook important subtopics? is it up-to-date?). Some of the topics are fairly large; the intent is that you focus on the operating system aspects of each topic, and not other technical components, management, economics, or politics. Please submit a three-page report in PDF form for the topic you chose. Your audience for this report is a busy computer science professional who knows the operating systems but may not be an expert in this particular topic.

• Create your SEASnet account and then check that it works as soon as you can, as there are occasionally delays before your account is activated.
• Here are suggestions if you're interested in the course but are neither enrolled nor on the waiting list.
  • Read Enrollment in Computer Science Classes and follow its advice.
  • Any PTEs are not typically given out until the end of the second week, to make sure that enough resources are available. You can try coming to classes before then. Sign up on any attendance sheet that is being passed around.
