Synopsis
:
This course presents the concepts of the software that work as
intermediary programs between the user and the hardware, known as
operating systems. It covers the basic concepts of modern operating
systems, how they are designed and the way they work regarding to
the efficiency and reliability. Also, it compares between the techniques
used inside the operating systems regarding to its time and space
complexity.
