Prerequisites
There are no prerequisites for this course
Course Enrolment Limitations
The course is offered to students of any study field.
Course objectives
The aim of the course is to acquaint students with the theoretical principles of operation of operating systems and their basic building blocks. Students will be introduced to the OS as a process manager, a memory manager, an I / O device manager, file manager, and others. We will also deal with the security of operating systems. Students will also learn how to manage the most commonly used operating systems as an administrator.
Learning outcomes
At the end of this course the student will be able to: - Understand and be able to explain the functioning of operating systems - Critically evaluate the architecture and functionality of the operating systems - Understand and be able to explain the function of the basic components of operating systems - Manage the basic known operating systems from the point of view of an administrator
