1. Please read in Lawrence Angrave's "Systems Programming" book. Learn common pitfalls in C programming. Learn how to use the fork(), exec(), and wait() system calls. Learn how to allocate memory from the heap with malloc() and related functions. Try to learn something about synchronization of processes.
  2. Continue work on the program that simulates the scheduling of processes. Add code to compute some statistics. Know how to use pointers and a loop to process elements in a linked list. Know how to use queues.
  3. Be prepared to show code. On Wednesday I will help you prepare a presentation.
