Operating systems are central to computing activities. An
operating system is a program that acts as an intermediary
between a user of a computer and the computer hardware. Two
primary aims of an operating systems are to manage resources
(e.g. CPU time, memory) and to control users and software.
Operating system design goals are often contradictory and vary
depending of user, software, and hardware criteria. The course aims to explore the
importance of the operating system and its function. The
different techniques used by the operating system to achieve its
goals as resource manager. The course also explores how
application interacts with the operating system and how the
operating systems interact with the machine.
