Objectives n The COT 4600 class covers basic principles guiding the design and implementation of operating systems. n The focus of the class is switched from the discussion on ``how'' operating systems are implemented to the identification of the most important questions the designer of an operating system has to address and ``why'' a solution is better than others. 5 Lecture 1

Objectives (cont’d) n Another major departure from the more traditional approach in covering operating systems is the emphasize on performance; several lectures cover computer system performance analysis. n We also emphasize the ``big picture'' the relationship of operating systems with other subjects from undergraduate curriculum including: ¨ ¨ ¨ 6 computer architecture, programming languages, algorithms, networking, databases, modeling and performance analysis. Lecture 1

Assignments n n 7 There are 6 homework assignments and a class project. A homework consists of 1 -5 problems at the end of each chapter in the textbook. The homeworks are due before the start of the class on Tuesdays; you have two weeks from the instant a homework is assigned until its due Lecture 1
