Subject Test Books List

I feel that the following books will be useful in preparing for the subject test. They however do not completely cover all the topics. I will post more books as I come across them.

Systems and Methodology

Operating system Concepts (Dinosaur Book) by Silberschatz and Galvin.

Any old edition of this book would suffice. For basic concepts, the Third will do. Sixth edition has 2 more chapters than the Fifth I believe.

Theory

I have no idea what formal specifications and correctness techniques mean. However I have a pretty good idea of Automata theory and Algorithms. I am using the following books for this section.

Models of Computation and Formal Languages by R.Gregory Taylor.

Fundamentals of algorithmics by Brassard and Bratley.

Computer Organization and Architecture

Computer Organization and Design: The hardware software Interface by Hennessy and Patterson
