As you know, your TEST 1 is on FRIDAY 16-08-13. It will be based on the following:<br>

<li><font face="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><span style="font-size:11pt"><b>Tutorial and Lab Work (FSP and Programming)<br>
</b></span></font></li></ol>
<font face="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><span style="font-size:11pt"><br>
For the FSP part, go through the material we have done so far, which is:<br>
<br>
<b>---> LECTURE 2 – Processes & Threads (Lecture 2 Blue Booklet & Chapter 2 of the Magee & Kramer Textbook (just to ``brush up’’))<br>
---> LECTURE 3 – Concurrent Execution (Lecture 3 Pink Booklet & Chapter 3 of the Magee & Kramer Textbook ( just to ``brush up’’))<br>
---> CHAPTER 1 (Laboratory 1) – Exception Handling<br>
<br>
</b><br>
2. <b>Distributed Systems Lecture Material<br>
</b> <br>
Here is what you need to read here:<br>
<br>
<b>---> LECTURE 1 – Introduction (Pink Booklet and Green handwritten notes. ALSO do some ``brush up’’ and read CHAPTER 1 of textbook by Tanenbaum
<br>
& Van Steen, of which there are 5 copies distributed in class).<br>
</b><br>
<b>---> LECTURE 2 – Architectures (Do some ``brush up’’ and read CHAPTER 2 of textbook by Tanenbaum. Lecture 2 slides to be distributed later).<br>
</b><br>
<br>
Here is how all of the above content will be used to set the questions (<b>consider this as a guide</b>):<br>
<br>
<b>1. SECTION 1</b> <b>: Definition of terms ------------------------------------> (5 Marks)<br>
2. SECTION 2: Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs) ---------------> (20-30 Marks)<br>
3. SECTION 3: Fill in the blanks (complete the sentence) ------> (5 Marks)<br>

5. SECTION 5: FSP Questions & FSP Modeling ---------------------> (20 Marks)<br>
6. SECTION 6: DS Questions--------------------------------------------> (30 Marks)<br>
</b><br>
This is how, roughly, your TEST 1 Questions will ``look’’ like.<br>
<br>
<br>
Start reading (in a FOCUSED and DISCIPLINED way). You ALL should be able to pass.<br>
<br>
Cheers for now. <br>
