Operating Systems Principles and Applications

Catalog description

In this course, students will learn the essential elements and main functionalities of operating systems: the centers of interaction between software and computing devices. Students will explore the core components of operating systems including process management, memory allocation, file systems, and device management. Through a blend of theoretical concepts and practical applications, students will evaluate operating system resources management for security, stability, safety, efficiency, performance, and appropriateness for given scenarios. Ultimately, students will be able to optimize operating system performance with appropriate algorithmic solutions.
