Course Description
Course Description
Operating Systems is a fundamental course that introduces students to the concepts, principles, and functions of modern operating systems. The course explains how an operating system manages computer hardware and software resources and provides services to application programs and users.
Students will learn important operating system concepts including processes, threads, CPU scheduling, process synchronization, deadlocks, memory management, virtual memory, file systems, and storage management.
The course also helps students understand how operating-system concepts are implemented and applied through programming and practical laboratory exercises.
Course Objectives
