Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes

• Imagine, design, develop, and implement conceptual models and computer solutions to address complex problems including decision-making, optimisation, management and production as part of a business innovation approach by integrating changing needs, contexts and issues (technical, economic, societal, ethical and environmental).
• On the basis of modelling, design a system or a strategy addressing the problem raised; evaluate them in light of various parameters of the specifications.
• Deliver a solution selected in the form of diagrams, graphs, prototypes, software and/or digital models.
• Mobilise a structured set of scientific knowledge and skills and specialised techniques in order to carry out computer and management engineering missions, using their expertise and adaptability.
• Master and appropriately mobilise knowledge, models, methods and techniques specific to computer management engineering.
• Plan, manage and lead projects in view of their objectives, resources and constraints, ensuring the quality of activities and deliverables.
• Define and align the project in view of its objectives, resources and constraints.
• Respect deadlines and timescales
• Communicate and exchange information in a structured way - orally, graphically and in writing, in French and in one or more other languages - scientifically, culturally, technically and interpersonally, by adapting to the intended purpose and the relevant public.
• Use and produce scientific and technical documents (reports, plans, specifications) adapted to the intended purpose and the relevant public.
• Contribute by researching the innovative solution of a problem in engineering sciences.
• Develop and implement conceptual analysis, numerical modelling, software implementations, experimental studies and behavioural analysis.

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 succesive layers. They can explain interactions between different components of an operating systems and can solve simple problems of synchronization. 

Thanks to the practical exercices, the  they will be able to develop scripts for automating processes and manipulation of files in UNIX.

UE Content: description and pedagogical relevance

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

Prior Experience

Computer architecture, operating mode of a processor; interrupt mechanism; hard disk partitions, memory addressing
