The aim of the course:
Students learn the theory of today's operating systems, process and thread concepts, memory management, file system and I/O principles.
 
Learning OutcomesCTPOTOA
Upon successful completion of the course, the students will be able to :
LO - 1 : You can give a short history about the previous operating system and explain how it works in modern operating systems.1,3,81,
LO - 2 : You can define operating systems as structural.1,3,81,
LO - 3 : Process and thread scheduling, also operating system core units such as interprocess-communication unit can be designed using different techniques.1,3,81,
LO - 4 : You can evaluate the results of Memory management, I/O techniques and the filing system.1,3,81,
LO - 5 : Safety and protection measures can be applied to a computer.1,3,81,
LO - 6 : Units for multi-media network and distributed operating systems can be implemented.1,3,81,
CTPO : Contribution to programme outcomes, TOA :Type of assessment (1: written exam, 2: Oral exam, 3: Homework assignment, 4: Laboratory exercise/exam, 5: Seminar / presentation, 6: Term paper), LO : Learning Outcome
