Course home page contains general information on this course, like contents for earlier courses, course area for separate exam and earlier exams.

This course was given the first time on Spring 2013 as 6 cr course. We have supplemented the earlier 4 cr course (582640) with material on concurrency control, embedded operating systems, and distributed operating systems. You can use the old exams for the previous course as representative examples, but please keep in mind that the new course has wider learning goals. 

Course IRC-channel is #tkt-os.

28.11.2013 I recommend that you obtain the text book and use it extensively for self study during the course. Please read the given chapters from the text book before trying out the homework problems. After that you could browse through the lecture slides (in English) and try to figure it the meaning on each slide. It might be useful, if you could find a buddy or two to study together, I.e., you could consider forming study circles for this course. We can discuss this more during the opening lecture in English. 

28.11.2013 The course has no compulsory requirements. However, you should know the basics of computer organization in advance.
