    • Course Rationale

      The course aims to explore the importance of the operating system, its function and different techniques used by the operating system to achieve its goals as resource manager. The course also explores how application interacts with the operating system and how the operating systems interact with the machine. Also, the course shed light on some of the existing operating systems and how the topics taught in the course are applied in these systems. Some topics in the course are implemented by witting the programs to practically know how.
