-- CSCI 4730 / 6730 Operating Systems: Reading Assignment --

How it will work:

The readings are grouped themes that we will cover throughout the semester. Each week everone is required to read at least one paper from a list of 2 required papers. There will be additional optional papers listed.

The three presenters for the week are responsible to organize their talk as a group beforehand (e.g., so that the same material is not presented multiple times). :
