| Module Type: |
Special Foundation |
| Module Code: |

| Syllabus: |
Basic issues: Windows and UNIX/Linux operating systems, basic structure, communication interfaces,
user and system (kernel) states, scripts and shell programming. Processor Management: Task and thread
management (multiprocessing, multithreading, hyper threading technology), preemptive, no preemptive scheduling,
interrupt management, time scheduling programming.
Synchronization and intratasking communication: Task synchronization (mutexes, semaphores, conditions, monitors),
critical region management algorithms (critical regions, concurrency), deadlocks and starvation management,
classic issues in intratasking communications (readers-writers, consumer-producer, dining philosophers).
Memory management: Basic issues (swapping, thrashing, caching), memory allocation algorithms (buddy system, etc),
virtual memory, paging, segmentation. System and file management: Distributed operating systems, parallel tasks and
time allocation, multi-processor scheduling, file systems, security and protection.

| Module Aims-Objectives: |
To introduce the operation of various operating systems to students so as to understand their functionality
in the various levels of man-machine interaction.
Upon completing this module students should be able to select and manage the appropriate operating system
in order to develop an application and/or their workspace.
