COURSE OVERVIEW

Operating Systems Course is intended as a general introduction to the techniques used to

implement operating systems and related kinds of systems software. The topics covered will be
functions and structure of operating systems, process management (creation, synchronization,
and communication); processor scheduling; deadlock prevention, avoidance, and recovery;
main-memory management; virtual memory management (swapping, paging, segmentation
and page-replacement algorithms); control of disks and other input/output devices; file-system
structure and implementation; and protection and security
