computer” – BCS Definition
The software responsible for allocating and managing system resources
-Memory, Processing time ,Disk space
Example include :- Windows (Microsoft),IOS (Apple),Android
(Google),Linux ( Open source )
 NEED AN OPERATING SYSTEM

 Computer system =Hardware + Software

Application program(Software)communication with system
hardware via the operating system
-So programmers can write software to run on an OS
-not every type hardware
Different type of computer system will require different operating
system features:
- Networked & Single user PC
-Mobile phone,Tablet computer,Games console
-Sat nav,TV, Digital camera
 FUNCTIONS OF AN OPERATING SYSTEM

- CPU,RAM,Printers,Disk Drivers,Keybord,Mouse,Touchscreen…….

Organising files on store media,

- Hard Drive, CDROM,Memory Cards,Memory Sticks…..

Providing the user interface

- Receiving Commands from the system operator
- e.g. to copy or delete files
 FUNCTIONS OF AN OPERATING SYSTEM

Security : Detecting and Preventing unauthorised use,

-Managing hardware errors
 Protecting Data files and programs from corruption,
 Reporting and logging hardware and software uses & errors
 TYPES OF OPERATING SYSTEM

Types of Operating System

 Single –user
 Multi-user
 Multi-tasking
 Interactive
 Real Time
 Batch Processing
 Distributed Systems
SINGLE USER OPERATING SYSTEM
“A Single-User Operating system is a system in which only one user can access the
computer system at a time.”
Only one person can use computer system at any one time
- can support multiple accounts but only one use at a time.

One user can access the computer One user can access the computer
at a time. at a time.
Single –user operating system
SINGLE-USER OPERATING SYSTEM
Processing power of processor dedicated to the user
- so multi-tasking can be performed
- i.e. running more than one program for that user at the same time.
Standard OS for a Standalone computer
MULTI-USER OPERATING SYSTEM
“Multi-user operating system is an operating system that allows multiple user to connect and operate a Single
Operating system.”
 More than One user accessing the system at the same time .
 Most commonly: Network Operating System
-server computer connected a number of terminals
-Clint-server LAN,ATM,Ticket booking
 O/S allocates a time slice to each user

- switches form user to user

-the larger the number of users the slower the system work
 Can run several programs simultaneously
MULTI-TASKING OPERATING SYSTEM

 carries out more than one task at the same time

-several programs can be loaded and running at the same time
- e.g. using a word processor whilst browsing the internet
 Processor switches between tasks
- completes part of one task than switches to do part of another task
-this process happens very fast
- appears that task are running concurrently
 True multi-tasking requires more than one processor
INTERACTIVE OPERATING SYSTEM
“An Interactive Operating system is one that allows the user to directly interact
with the operating system whilst one or more programs are running .”
 Direct user interaction whilst a program is running accepts and respond to
input from user
 “Question and Answer “ between user and computer
 Computer gives the user an immediate response
INTERACTIVE PROCESSING :

Examples:-
 Booking concert Tickets
 Ordering Books online
 Handling bank accounts
 Booking a holiday:
fill in a web form
submit it
site inform you to the room you have booked
