Course 8: Operating Systems


Credits -3
Course Objectives

To gain knowledge about various functions of an operating system like memory management,
process management, device management, etc.
Course Outcomes:

Upon successful completion of the course, a student will be able to:

1. Demonstrate knowledge and comprehension of operating system functions.


2. Analyze different process scheduling algorithms and apply them to manage processes and
threads effectively
3. Create strategies to prevent, detect, and recover from deadlocks, and design solutions for
inter-process communication and synchronization problems.
4. Compare and contrast different memory allocation strategies and evaluate their effectiveness
5. Evaluate disk scheduling algorithms while implementing OS security measures
