Course Objectives The objective of this course is to examine the design and analysis of selected aspects of operating systems and distributed systems. It also aims to cover topics such as concurrency and distributed communication; fault-tolerance, availability, and persistence; and operating system structure.
Course Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • Comprehend the basic concepts of modern operating systems
  • Describe the role and purpose of Networking concepts in operating systems
  • Discuss the concept of a process and concurrency problems: synchronization, mutual exclusion, deadlocks
  • Identify real time process scheduling policies
Course Content Advanced topics in process scheduling, multiprocessor and real-time scheduling, concurrent programming fundamentals, review of inter-process communication, semaphores and monitors, synchronization and communication, fault tolerance, recent advances in operating systems.
