Course Objectives To provide a solid conceptual understanding of the fundamentals of Software Engineering. More specifically,

• To explore the processes and threads roles, states, components, scheduling, and concurrency of the modern operating system.

• To demonstrate the process scheduler.

• To explain and analyze the concurrency problem including synchronization, mutual exclusion, deadlock and starvation.

• To explain and solve problems on memory management (primary and secondary) and virtual memory management systems and file management systems.

 

 Course Content

This course introduces modern operating systems. It focuses on UNIX-based operating systems, though alternative operating systems, including Windows, are introduced. This course begins with an overview of the structure of modern operating systems. Throughout the subsequent units, discuss the history of modern computers, analyze in detail each of the major components of an operating system (from processes to threads), and explore more advanced topics in the field, including concurrency (synchronization, mutual exclusion, deadlock, starvation), memory (both primary and secondary) management and input/output file management and organization (segmentation, paging, swapping), file systems, and operating system support for distributed systems. Different CPU scheduling algorithms and disk scheduling algorithms have also been discussed in detail.

The focus of this course is UNIX-based operating systems, though alternative operating systems, including MS Windows are introduced. This course is divided into two parts. The first part is about the GNU/Linux command line interface to operate basic operations .The second parts are about the GNU/Linux application programming interface. In this part the creation and control of processes and threads are practiced. The cooperative process resource share management system and some advanced topics in the field of process scheduling, concurrency (synchronization, mutual exclusion, deadlock, and starvation), memory (both primary and secondary) management and input/output file organization are practiced.
