An operating system is an essential part of any computer system. It is
the program that acts as an interface between the user and the computer
hardware and provides the environment within which programs are
executed. In this class, we will look at what an operating system is and
what it does. Topics will include the concept of a process, sequential
and concurrent execution, memory management, file systems, I/O systems,
and other topics as time permits.
