CSM17101 is an undergraduate level course on basic principles of modern operating systems. The purpose of operating systems as an abstraction mechanism and as a resource manager will be covered. The different layers of any operating system such as process management and scheduling, memory management, file systems and I/O programming will be discussed. Supplementary materials will be provided for additional reading to clarify and exemplifying the concepts that would be required if you are to engage in implementation projects of future operating systems.
