Assignment 1 - due Monday, January 18th (before class!)

Tasks you will need to do before starting:

• Read chapter 1 and chapter 2 from Jeff&Jeff, up to but not including section 2.1.3.

Resources you will need:

• Access to LTSA. Use this site to download: ltsa.jar. This should give you a jar file that is double-clickable.

Problem 1

Do exercise 2.1 (part VII only) in back of chapter 2.

Turn-in: The FSP code. I will load and test your code.

Problem 2

Do exercise 2.5 in back of chapter 2.

Turn-in: The FSP code. I will load and test your code.

Problem 3

Look at the diagram in figure 2.17. It turns out that this diagram is now a bit dated. This is an old picture of how threads worked in Java. Read this article on the new model of thread life: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/misc/threadPrimitiveDeprecation.html. Now, redo the FSP model in section 2.2.3 to match the new model.

Turn-in: The FSP code. I will load and test your code.
