Description
Process Synchronization, Deadlock management, Memory Management and
File Management. This is a programming intensive course and involves
implementation and use of system calls, multithreaded applications, simulation
of memory management, scheduling etc with a lot of emphasis on
synchronization issues.

Wiley & Sons, 8th Edition
Courses)
Reference Material Modern Operating System by Tenenbaum, by Prentice Hall, (Latest
Edition).
Course Goals The goals of this course are to convey:
1. Understanding of the fundamental concepts in modern Operating

Systems: processes, threads, synchronization (essential to concurrent
programming), scheduling (for the processes and threads), memory
management, I/O, and file systems.
2. Understanding of multi-programming and synchronization in such
programming models.
After completion of the course, the student shall be able to:
1. Design, implement, and evaluate a computer-based system, process,

component, or program to meet desired needs.
2. Function effectively on a team to accomplish a common goal.
3. Communicate effectively with a range of audiences.
