Synopsis FUNDAMENTALS OF OPERATING SYSTEM course
introduces the design and implementation of operating
systems. This course will cover briefly the evolution of
operating system, and also the major components of most
operating system. Particular emphasis will be given to
three major OS subsystems: process management
(processes, threads, CPU scheduling, and deadlock),
memory management (segmentation, paging, swapping),
file systems, and operating system support for distributed
systems
