Course detail
Network Operating Systems
FEKT-BPC-SOSAcad. year: 2020/2021
The course first deals with general architectures of operating systems. It continues with description of processes in the system, including their scheduling and synchronization. Next is discussed the purpose and use of virtual memory. The course also deals with the principle of filesystems. The networking part covers communication at the level of operating system and description of servers as processes. Discussed are also main networking services. The end of the course is devoted to the security of operating systems.
