Department of Computing & Technology: Course Outline

This 3 credit hour course covers advanced operating system topics from a distributed systems perspective, including concurrency, deadlock protection, multiprocessor scheduling, file systems, and virtual memory management. Students will be graded based on midterm exams (30%), assignments (10%), quizzes and tests (10%), and a final exam (50%). The course will use Silberschatz et al.'s Operating System Concepts textbook and Tanenbaum and van Steen's Distributed Systems book. Over 16 weeks, topics will include distributed system structures, communication protocols, distributed file systems, distributed coordination, concurrency control, distributed process management, parallel programming, clusters, grids, and security in distributed systems.
