Contribution of the course to the overall degree programme goals
Explain the structure and functions of a modern multi-programmed operating system. The course introduces the basic concepts of modern operating systems,
illustrates the theoretical models and the techniques for the process management, the memory, file system, I / O and secondary memory systems.
Introduction of the principles of concurrent programming and concepts and techniques related to
synchronization between processes and threads, with practical laboratory experiments in C and Java. As case studies are analyzed Unix / Linux and Windows operating systems.

Assessment methods
Exercises are proposed to the students.
The written exam of the first part of the course consists of open questions, and it can be substituted by two analogue intermediate tests.
An oral exam could be required for critical special cases.
The exam assesses:
1. the knowledge of basic concepts, theoretical models and implementation techniques for modern operating systems;
2. managing methods of the main components of the operating system (processors, memory, I / O devices, file systems);
3. the competence of case studies of modern operating systems.
