Fundamentals of operating systems design and implementation. History and evolution of operating systems. Types of operating systems. Operating system structures. Process management: processes, threads, CPU scheduling, process synchronisation. Memory management and virtual memory. File systems; I/O systems; Security and protection; Distributed systems; Case studies. Lab work: Practical hands-on engagement to facilitate understanding of the material taught in the course. All the process, memory, file and directory management issues will be demonstrated under the LINUX operating system. Also UNIX commands will be briefly discussed. Alternatively, hands-on exposure may be through the use of operating systems developed for teaching, like TempOS, Nachos, Xinu or MiniOS. Another possibility is through programming exercises that implement and simulate algorithms taught. Simulation of CPU scheduling algorithms, producer-consumer problem, memory allocation algorithms, file organisation techniques, deadlock algorithms and disk scheduling algorithms. 400 Level

Students are attached to private and public organisations for a period of three months with a view to making them acquire practical experience and to the extent possible, develop skills in all areas of computing. Students are supervised during the training period and shall be expected to keep records designed for the purpose of monitoring their performance. They are also expected to submit a report on the experience gained and defend their reports.
