Synopsis
This course deals with the fundamental theories and principles that lay the ground for the
functionality of traditional and modern operating systems. It examines basic issues in
operating system design and implementation. It also covers the tradeoffs that can be made
between performance and functionality during the design and implementation of an
operating system. Particular emphasis will be given to the major subsystems: process
management, memory management, file and I/O. Moreover, the course will have a series
of laboratory sessions based on the Linux kernel. The sessions involve, among other
things, implementing and testing of operating system concepts using the C programming
language.

Course Learning Outcome (CLO): At the end of the course the student will be able to do:
CLO1 Relate how operating systems as system software are vital in computing systems.
CLO2 Demonstrate a deep understanding of how operating systems work internally.
CLO3 Experiment with the various tools and algorithms used in both popular and
emerging operating systems.
CLO4 Make use of existing operating systems to solve common computing problems
based on ethics and professionalism.
CLO5 Identify emerging operating systems trends and utilize professional platforms to
keep abreast with new developments.
