Advanced Operating Systems

Catalog description

In this course, students will study general issues of design and implementation of advanced modern operating systems. They will study inter-process communications, distributed processing, sharing and replication of data and files, and distributed and multiprocessor operating systems. There will be heavy emphasis on the principles, design issues, and algorithms, and relatively little emphasis on specific implementations. There will be programming assignments, which will help students to understand various advanced operating systems mechanisms in detail.
