Operating Systems (COM-302)
Program: B.Tech Computer Science and Engineering(Cyber Security)
Category: Professional Core Course
Semester: 3
Credits: 4
L-T-P: 3- 1- 0
Description
Operating Systems introduces the fundamental concepts and design principles of modern operating systems. The course covers essential topics including process management, CPU scheduling, synchronization, deadlocks, memory management, file systems, input/output systems, and security. Students will learn how operating systems function as an interface between hardware and users, and how they manage resources efficiently in multi-user and multitasking environments. Emphasis is placed on understanding both theoretical models and practical implementations. By the end of the course, students will be able to analyze system performance, write basic shell scripts, and understand the role of system calls and OS structures in real-world systems.
