Objectives
Objectives
At the end of the course, students must be able to:
- Understand the principles of modern operating systems and identify their main components.
- Understand the fundamental algorithms that govern the Operating Systems key components, as well as their most current optimizations.
- Program examples of some of their most important algorithms (scheduler, file system, etc. ..)
- To take advantage of the direct operating system interfaces to develop and optimize complex applications.

Teaching methodologies and assessment
Teaching methodologies and assessment
The teaching methodology is based on Lectures and Laboratory Practice, where students have the opportunity to acquire a deep and direct experience of the main themes addressed in the course, by conducting studies and projects focused on the implementation of Operating Systems key features. Examples taken from some of the most widely used systems (Unix, Windows, …) are presented to illustrate the concepts presented.
