The course is conducted in English。

Lecture session: The fundamental knowledge of operating systems will be established in the lecture session. It covers the following parts: • Part 1: Introduction to Operating Systems • Part 2: Process Management • Part 3: Process Synchronization • Part 4: Memory Management • Part 5: Storage Management • Part 6: File Systems Hands-on assignments: This practical session covers how the design of operating systems affects the system-level and user-level performance.

As computers are vital components of most connected intelligent systems, such as robots and complex automation systems, a basic understanding of computer systems is necessary and important. Therefore, the goal of the lecture will establish the fundamental knowledge of operating systems and system-level software components of modern computer systems. In addition, students can fully understand the design principles of operating systems via domain-specific implementation in practical systems.

Prerequisites: The students should be familiar with data structures, system programming, and basic programming.
