In the previous 12 chapters, we have touched upon a variety of topics. This chapter is intended to aid readers interested in pursuing their study of operating systems further. Section 13.1 is a list of suggested readings. Section 13.2 is an alphabetical bibliography of all books and articles cited in this book.
In addition to the references given below, the ACM Symposium on Operating System Principles (SOSP) held in odd-numbered years and the USENIX Symposium on Operating System Design and Implementation (OSDI) held in even numbered years are good sources for ongoing work on operating systems. The ACM SIGOPS Eurosys Conference, and USENIX Annual Technical Conference, held annually are also sources of top-flight papers. Furthermore, the journals ACM Transactions on Computer Systems and ACM SIGOPS Operating Systems Review, often have relevant articles. Many other ACM, IEEE, and USENIX conferences deal with specialized topics.
