| Content | The Operating Systems course has an introductory character. It covers the fundamental techniques and data structures used in modern operating systems It also covers topics such as concurrency, deadlocks, file systems, virtual memory, I/O, virtualization, and touch upon security, and integrity. The course is organized into three main parts. The first part offers an introduction and history of operating systems. The second describes concurrency in terms of processes, threads, their scheduling, as well concurrency control and deadlocks. The last part will address memory management, file systems, and touch upon security and privacy aspects. The course will integrate a programming project which can be worked on independently, in small groups. This will offer the opportunity to learn and practice presentation techniques for presenting the project ideas and results. |
| Learning objectives | The learning objectives of this course are to understand the concepts of operating systems and related aspects such as: 1. The characteristics and the design principles behind modern operating systems. 2. Scheduling by the operating system and management and execution of processes. 3. Memory management. 4. Structure and organization of file systems. 5. Mechanisms for protecting system resources 6. Interplay between the hardware components (see the "Computer Architecture and Trustworthy Computing" course) and the software that runs on them which render a computer useful. |
