SUBJECT 1. SUBJECT TITLE Subject title: Operating Systems Tenured Professor: Associate Professor tefan Stncescu Type: training (general or specialist) specialist Number of course hours: 28 hrs Number of application hours : 14 hrs Number of credit points: 2 Semester: 2 Package: curricular area (common or specialist) specialist Prerequisites: attending and / or promoting the following subjects: No prerequisites 2. OBJECTIVES OF SUBJECT - For courses The general objective is to study system software of computer systems. The first part is dedicated to structure and processing of software development utilities (assemblers, macro processors, compilers, etc.) and to interprocess communication and synchronization mechanisms in multiprocessing systems. The second part is dedicated to resources management in a computer system: process management, memory management, I/O management and file systems. The final part takes into consideration particularities of operating systems in distributed computing and in real time systems. - For applications The general objective is to learn LINUX operating system. The laboratory applications exercise abilities in working with essential in line commands and system variables, I/O operations, file systems. Also are included network programming skills with compilers or scripting utilities and administrative works for LINUX servers. 3. SPECIFIC COMPETENCIES (within the competence range of the academic training programme) Offer knowledge of software utilities structure and functions, from assemblers to compilers, in system programming. Establish abilities in detailed resources management by unitary structured view through operating system components. Describe detailed resources management mechanisms. Accommodate with open source LINUS operating system 4. SYLLABUS a. Course: Chapter 1 Content Operating system definitions, concepts and general structures in computer system environment.
