Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes

  • Solve new problems
    • Adapt an argument to a similar situation
    • Use knowledge from different fields to address issues
  • Use computers effectively
    • Use at least one programming language

Learning Outcomes of UE

At the end of this course, students will be able to describe the fundamental principles governing the development of modern operating systems built in the form of successive layers. They can explain interactions between different components of operating systems and can solve synchronization problems more or less complex. 

Thanks to the practical part,, they will be able to develop scripts for automating tasks in the context of manipulating processes and  files in UNIX. 
Students will also be able to develop system programs in C in a UNIX environment.

Content of UE

Functions and features of an operating system; 
kernel; processes, semaphores, synchronization; 
Memory management; 
Inputs / Outputs; 
File systems; 
Scheduling; 
Allocation and distribution of resources; 
C programming language; 
UNIX processes, file system and shell.

Prior Experience

Computer architecture, functional mode of a processor; interrupt mechanism; partitioning of a hard disk; memory addressing
