COURSE DESCRIPTION
This course introduces the fundamental concepts of operating system design and implementation. The course aims at providing an
understanding of how operating system enables interaction between user-level applications and the underlying system hardware. The concepts
in this course are not limited to any particular operating systems or hardware platform. We will discuss examples that are drawn from different
operating systems including Unix/Linux, Windows, and Android.

The course lectures will be accompanied by several projects (programming assignments) that form or depend on much of the core functionality
in modern operating systems. These projects will provide students a practical exposure to topics such as processes/threads, file systems, and
memory management.
