OBJECTIVES AND CONTENTS
Objectives of the Course Unit:	Teach students fundamentals of operating systems, design issues, algorithms and structures. Programming projects aim to provide experience to support basic concepts.
Contents of the Course Unit:	Introduction, history. Processes: basic concepts, concurrent processes, mutual exclusion, process management, scheduling approaches. Deadlock and deadlock prevention approaches. Memory management: segmentation, paging, related methods, virtual memory. Input/Output. UNIX and other example operating systems.

KEY LEARNING OUTCOMES OF THE COURSE UNIT (On successful completion of this course unit, students/learners will or will be able to)
Students will learn the basic concepts of process management.
Students will learn techniques for interprocess communication and synchronization. When given a problem involving concurrent processes, they will be able to design and code a solution to the problem.
Students will learn a range of algorithms for process scheduling and deadlock detection and avoidance.
Students will learn concepts of memory management (allocation, paging, segmentation, virtual memory).
Students will learn file management and input/output handling in operating systems.
Students will learn and be able to apply Unix system calls.
Students will be able to use operating systems features to solve real world problems.
