CSC 227 - Operating Systems

Semester:

Second

This is an introductory course in Operating Systems. As such, it is intended to cover many of the concepts related to most of the actual Operating Systems. Although the study of a particular Operating System is out of the scope of this course, nevertheless, we will cover most of the concepts found in any existing Operating System. We will review computer system and operating system structures, processes and threads (concepts of, communication, synchronization and deadlocks), CPU Scheduling, memory management and virtual memory.

Course Objectives (Aims of the Course):

The objective s of the course is to provide the concepts of operating systems design and implementation. It identifies and describes the major and common components of an operating system with stating their functions and purposes especially process management (process scheduling, and synchronization), and memory management (segmentation, paging, and swapping).

Course Outcomes:

The students will have a working knowledge of operating system theory and operation.
The students will be able to design and implement some components of modern operating systems in team projects.
The students will demonstrate knowledge of operating system services and be able to use system calls.

Methods of Teaching the Course: Lectures and Tutorials.

Assignments: Assignments will be given to the students covering most of the discussed topics.

Course Evaluation:

Midterm Exam 1 (20%).
Midterm Exam 2 (20%).
Project and assignments (20%).
Final Exam (40%).
