The document defines an operating system as a set of programs that manage computer hardware resources and provide common services for application software. It is the most important program that runs on a computer and allows other programs to interact with hardware by following rules programmed into the OS. Key functions of an OS include managing memory, enabling multitasking, providing disk access/file systems, including device drivers, supporting networking, and providing security and graphical user interfaces. Popular examples of OS mentioned are Windows, Linux, Android, and Mac OS X.

2. definition
• Is a set of programs that
manage computer
hardware resources and
provide common services
for application software. The
operating system is a vital
component of the system
software in a computer system.

3. kemel
Is the main component of most
computer operating systems; it is
a bridge
between applications and the
actual data processing done at
the hardware level

4. • The most important program
that runs on a computer.
Every general-purpose
computer must have an
operating system to run other
programs.

5. Program execution
so that an application program
can interact with the hardware
only by obeying rules and
procedures programmed into the
operating system Executing an
application program involves the
creation of a process by the
operating system kernel which
assigns memory space and other
resources.

6. Memory
management
Among other things, a
multiprogramming operating
system kernel must be
responsible for managing all
system memory which is
currently in use by programs.
This ensures that a program
does not interfere with memory
already in use by another
program. Since programs time
share, each program must have
independent access to memory.

7. Virtual memory
The use of virtual memory
addressing means that the
kernel can choose what
memory each program may
use at any given time,
allowing the operating
system to use the same
memory locations for
multiple tasks.

8. multasking
refers to the running of
multiple independent
computer programs on
the same computer;
giving the appearance
that it is performing the
tasks at the same time

9. Disk Access and file
systems
Access to data stored on
disks is a central feature of
all operating systems.
Computers store data on
disks using files, which are
structured in specific ways
in order to allow for faster
access

10. Device drivers
is a specific type
of computer
software
developed to
allow interaction
with hardware
devices.

11. networking
Currently most
operating systems
support a variety of
networking
protocols,
hardware, and
applications for
using them

12. y
A computer being secure
depends on a number of
technologies working
properly. A modern
operating system provides
access to a number of
resources, which are
available to software running
on the system, and to
external devices like
networks via the kernel.

13. Graphical user
interfaces
Most of the modern
computer systems support
graphical user interfaces ,
and often include them. In
some computer systems, such
as the original
implementation of Mac OS,
the GUI is integrated into the
kernel.

14. • Windows
• Linux
• Android
• Microsoft
• Mac OS X

15. • The functions of an operating system
are:
• Are like the systems tools , that are
the programs that are used to
maintain parts of the system.
• A set of fuctions wich programs use to
perform specifc task specially relating
to interfacing with computer system
components.

16. • Operating systems that create a link
between users and the applications
form the core of computer systems. An
OS dissociates the programs from the
hardware and simplifies resource
management.

18. Software for an operating
system
•An operating system (OS) is a set
of programs that manage computer
hardware resources and provide common
services for application software The
operating system is a vital component of
the system software in a computer
system. Application programs require an
operating system which are usually
separate programs, but can be combined
in simple systems.

19. Examples of OS
• Unix & Unix Like
• BDS & decendents
• Mac OS-X
• Linux & GNU
• Google Chroome OS
• Microsoft Windows
• ETC..

20. About the Video:
• The video talks about O.S &
about a fight between them
because they want to domine the
world of O.S negociations.It also
tell us some information about
O.S
