Course objectives
To convey the knowledges and skills of computer operating
systems to those who attend the course, including
Basic structure, main functions of operating systems of a
modern computer
Concurrent Processes, Mutual Exclusion and
Synchronization of concurrent process, Process
scheduling, Memories, Virtual Memory, Pages,

Basic concepts - What is a system?
An assemblage of objects so combined by nature or human as to form an
integral unit
A regularly interacting or interdependent group of objects forming a
unified whole
Webster’s Dictionary
A combination of components/objects that act together to perform a
function not possible with any of the individual parts
IEEE Standard Dictionary of Electrical and Electronic Terms

Experiences of professionals around the world
Prof. John Regehr, University of Utah, USA
Some students are incapable of or uninterested in implementing
new OS
But they can learn from OS course: concurrency, resource
management, contention resolution, computer system design
