| Aim: To give the participants a conceptual and practical foundation forconstruction of systems with independent, concurrent activities.The course will enable the participants to describe and analyzeconcurrent activities and to express these using concepts andmechanisms found in programming languages and operating systems.Furthermore, the participants should be able to explain how someof these concepts and mechanisms are implemented in a concreteoperating system and be able to make modifications of this.Finally, the participants will get a general understanding of thecomponents in a multi-user operating system, the interaction amongthese, as well as their interaction with the physical components ofthe computer. |
