Course Description:	To provide a clear description of the concepts that underlie operating systems based on overview of the fundamental data structures that areprevalent in most operating systems, basic computer organization and high level languages programming. 2) To provide code examples of basic algorithms underlying operating systems, predominantly in C, with some Java, but in such a way that the student could understand the algorithms without a thorough knowledge of these languages.3) To present the Concepts using intuitive descriptions. to cover Important theoretical results, but omitting formal proofs unless they are absolutely necessary. 4) To analyze and point out to research papers with the original research conducted in these topics5) To cover all fundamental concepts and algorithms used in both commercial and open-source operating systems. Moreover, to present these concepts and algorithms in a general setting thatis not tied to one particular operating system. 6) To present a large number of examples and case studies that pertain to the most popular and the most innovative operating systems, including Linux, MicrosoftWindows, Apple Mac OS X, andSolaris, including examples of both Android and iOS, currently the twodominant mobile operating systems.
Course Objectives:	Introduce the basic functionalities of an operating systems and the management of its components such as CPU, main memory, file system and I/O components.
