The main task of an operating system is the controlling, management and distribution of resources of a computer system to the users. Resources are CPUs, main memory, files, input/output devices, network services, and in general all resources, which are connected to the computer system. In addition, an operating system provides the user interface for controlling the system as well as protection mechanisms, tools, libraries and development tools. The objective of this course is to discuss the concepts, which are implemented by classic and modern operating systems.
