Operating Systems (WS2223)

Computernetze kompakt bilingual Cover 1. Auflage
Betriebssysteme kompakt Cover 3. Auflage
 

The main task of an operating system is the controlling, management and distribution of resources of a computer system to the users. Resources are CPUs, main memory, files, input/output devices, network services, and in general all resources, which are connected to the computer system. In addition, an operating system provides the user interface for controlling the system as well as protection mechanisms, tools, libraries and development tools.

The objective of this course is to discuss the concepts, which are implemented by classic and modern operating systems.

The course (lectures, exercises and exam) is held in English language. All slide sets and exercise sheets are available in English and in German language. The content of the English and German slide sets and exercise sheets is identical.

The exercise sessions in WS2223 are supervised in collaboration with Henry Cocos.

The slide sets are the basis for the third edition of the German-language book Betriebssysteme kompakt, which was published in June 2022 by Springer Vieweg. ISBN: 978-3-662-64717-2

Also, a bilingual (English-German) edition exists - Operating Systems / Betriebssysteme, which was published in May 2020 by Springer Vieweg. ISBN: 978-3-658-29784-8
