Operating systems, one of the oldest and basic field of Computer Science. Classical algorithms used in current application development are result of studies in the Operating System studies. Advances in operating systems let coding practices be simplified as variations and complexity of hardware can be hidden from the developers and users. Learning operating systems help to visualize that some good to seem algorithms and solutions can result in unwanted result which can be adapted to daily life as lessons learned.
In this semster, we will cover the basic Operatins System concepts and goo deeper in more advanced issues making a survey, developing applications and writing a paper. The aim is to remember the basics and get some more detailed and advanced information about the current state of the art, as well as have some experience in developing applications in the field of operating systems.
