Course Objective:
This course covers classic materials of modern operating systems which control
computer hardware to provide services to application programs. After a brief
overview of computer systems and operating systems, we review key operating
system components, namely processes, memory, file systems, and I/O systems, along
with algorithms to manage these components. The lectures are concluded with two
case studies on Linux and Windows 2000. In addition to midterm and final exams,
three quizzes are interleaved to guide your study schedule. For hands-on training, we
assign two mini-projects which require written reports and your demonstration to the
TAs.
Pre-requisite: C Programming, Data Structures
Textbook: Silberschatz, Galvin, Gagne, Operating System Concepts, Sixth Edition,
Wiley, 2002.
