Prerequisites:
Data Structures, Computer Organization and Microprocessors
Objective:
The objective of the course is to study and understand the concepts related to operating
systems, such as concurrency, deadlocks, memory management, processor and disk
scheduling, file system organization and security.
Learning Outcomes

Outcome1: The student will be able to understand the services provided by the
operating system, operating system structures, process concept and multithreaded
programming models.

Outcome2: The student will be able to understand the concept of process, compute
the waiting time for each process based on scheduling algorithms and draw the
Gantt charts illustrating the execution of scheduling algorithms. The student will be
able to understand the concept of deadlocks, state the mechanisms through which
deadlocks can be prevented, avoided, detected and ways to recover from a
deadlock.
Outcome3: Student will be able calculate the number of page faults for a given page
replacement algorithm. The student will be able to understand various memory
management strategies such as contiguous memory allocation, paging, and
segmentation. Student will be able to understand the concept of demand paging,
thrashing, kernel memory allocation, memory mapped files. Student will be able to
understand the concept of files, file system, directory structure, and file system
mounting, file sharing and protection.

Outcome4: Student will be able to understand various file system implementations,

directory implementations. Student will be able to compare various secondary
memory allocation techniques with respect to parameters such as amount of
memory occupied, finding space for a new file. Student will be able to compute the
distance that a disk arm moves for various disk scheduling algorithms. Students will
be able to apply the concept of various free space management techniques for a
given problem. .Student will be able to understand the basics of I/O.
Outcome5: Student will be able to understand the concept of protection and
security. Student will be able to understand the concept of access matrix, nature of
association between process and a domain. Student will be able to list out various
authentication techniques used for security. Student will be able to understand
various computer security classification techniques.
