- 2017-03-02: we added a clarification about the order of results in the description of Lab 4 (Workers): check out the new text in section Order of results in the lab’s description.
- 2017-02-24: do not miss the guest lectures by Niklas Gustavsson (on Monday, 27 February) and by Cons T Åhs (on Wednesday, 1 March); they will help us get an idea of how concurrent programming is used in industrial practice!
- 2017-02-16: following the suggestions of some student representatives, I have uploaded slightly revised versions of the slides used so far where the few pseudo-code Java keywords we use (such as
invariant, await, and monitor) are highlighted in a different color to stress that they are not valid Java. Also, the slides with the quiz questions now show the correct answers.
- 2017-01-23: submissions for Lab 1 (Trainspotting) are open in Fire; remember to also sign up for a demo. The lab description (section Tips and tricks) now also includes a suggestion about the number of sensors you might use. If you’re still looking for a lab partner contact the TAs who will help students match.
- 2017-01-18: TimeEdit reports information about “group A/B” for the labs: you can ignore them and go to any of the rooms reserved for the labs. However, make sure to check the information about which lab sessions are supervised by TAs (not all sessions are supervised).
- 2017-01-17: You are welcome to start registering in Fire. Labs are done in groups of two students. If you need to find a lab partner, feel free to post a message in PingPong’s discussion forum.
- 2017-01-12: The draft material for the first two lectures is online. See you on Monday!
- 2016-11-18: The website is live! Please note that all the information is still tentative and subject to change.
