CP-207: Operating Systems

Credit Hours: 3 (Theory) + 1 (Lab)


Pre-requisites: Data Structures and Algorithms
Course Objectives:
 Basic Understanding of Computer System Structure and Operating Systems Structure
 Understanding Operation, Design and implementation of major subsystems of OS
Essential Topics to be covered:
