Synopsis:
This course will give the basic concepts on what an operating system (OS) is, its functions and main
components. Topics that will be given emphasis include the history and evolution of OS, main
components in the design of an OS, basic concepts and functions of process management, process
scheduling algorithms, basic concepts and functions of storage management, basic concepts and
virtual memory and filing systems, system security and basic concepts of distributed system
management. Study of a few OS such as UNIX and MSDOS will be carried out.
(Kursus ini akan memberikan konsep asas berkenaan apakah sistem pengoperasian (operating
system(OS)), fungsi dan komponen utamanya. Topik yang akan diberikan penekanan termasuk
sejarah dan perkembangan OS, komponen utama di dalam reka bentuk OS, konsep asas dan fungsi
pengurusan proses, algoritma pengskedulan proses, konsep asas dan fungsi pengurusan storan
atau ingatan, konsep asas dalam pengurusan ingatan maya dan sistem fail, sistem keselamatan dan
konsep asas pengurusan sistem teragih. Kajian berkenaan beberapa OS seperti UNIX dan MSDOS
akan dijalankan.)
