OBJECTIVES:
Study of modern concepts in design and implementation of operating systems, with emphasis on
distributed and real-time systems. The course is divided into two parts. The first part focuses on
the study of general concepts related to the structure of an operating system: process scheduling
and synchronization, memory management, and stable storage. The second part involves
detailed analysis of design and implementation of distributed and real-time operating systems.
METHODOLOGY:
For each topic, theoretic foundations are discussed, and a literary review of relevant work is
conducted. Then current research is reviewed and publications with innovative ideas are studied.
Students will develop a prototype of an operating system as part of a course project. At the end of
the semester, each student must present a research paper on a specific topic.
