OPERATING SYSTEMS

Prerequisites:

1. A course on “Computer Programming and Data Structures”.

2. A course on “Computer Organization and Architecture”.

Course Objectives:

● Introduce operating system concepts (i.e., processes, threads, scheduling,


synchronization, deadlocks, memory management, file and I/O subsystems
and protection)

● Introduce the issues to be considered in the design and development of


operating system

● Introduce basic Unix commands, system call interface for process


management, interprocess communication and I/O in Unix

Course Outcomes:

● Will be able to control access to a computer and the files that may be
shared

● Demonstrate the knowledge of the components of computers and their


respective roles in computing.

● Ability to recognize and resolve user problems with standard operating


environments.

● Gain practical knowledge of how programming languages, operating


systems, and architectures interact and how to use each effectively.
