1. When a user issues a command to print C:\my document\helloWorld.pdf,


describe how the managers in the operating system work together to
accomplish the command.

2. Explain why multiprogramming was introduced in the 1960s and how it was
implemented.

3. Explain why virtual memory was introduced in the 1970s and how it was
implemented.

4. Describe briefly how interactive systems and real-time systems were


implemented. Discuss the differences between the two systems.

5. Briefly compare process and thread. Give an example of an application


where multithreading gives improved performance over single-threading.

6. Explain how object-oriented design impacts the architecture and efficiency


of operating systems.
