Abstract:
The course aims at familiarizing the students with the practical aspects of the organization, structure and use of
operating systems (OS). This aim is achieved through a comparative analysis of the main components of three
different types of OS – single-user single-tasking, single-user multi-tasking, multi-user multi-tasking.
Course content:
OS classification, definitions. OS progress. OS structure – kernel, user interface, system programs. Processes –
definition, life cycle. Concurrent processes. Mutual exclusion. Deadlock. Processor management. Memory
management – management methods, virtual memory. File system management. Protection and safety in OS.
Teaching and assessment:
The lecture topics give the main theoretic aspects of the considered problems. The practice sessions are
conducted in a computer lab. In some of them the students study the main commands of the corresponding OS,
and in the other practice sessions simulation programming environments are used to explore and study the OS.
Each student is assigned an individual task, which they have to complete by the end of the semester. The final
mark is a weighted average of four marks: activity during practice sessions, implementation of the individual task,
written report and final exam.
3089 Computer Networks

Abstract:
The course objective is to familiarize students with the principles and ways of connecting computers in networks
as well as with the implementation of intercommunication between different levels of connections.
Course content:
The course topics are related to: devices and topologies used in computer networks; physical means and
characteristics of distance data transfer: cables, optic and wireless connections; standard model and networks
types: channel commutation, messages and packages; connecting channel management and transfer reliability,
sequences and protocols; data exchange routine in networks with multiple nodes and streams management,
routine algorithms; protocol system TCP/IP – addressing, formats and structures; network and transport protocols,
routines in IP networks; domain name system (DNS) and maintenance in Internet, file transfer, e-mail and Web
technologies in Internet; data security and authenticity in networks.
Teaching and assessment:
The lecture topics give the main theoretical aspects of the course problems. Multimedia presentations are used to
introduce the lecture material. The workshop sessions are carried out in halls equipped with personal computers
and relevant specialized hardware and software for implementing the course research. During the practice session
students are able to practically apply the acquired theoretical knowledge. For each practice session students are
provided with methodological instructions and relevant tasks for implementing. The course ends with a written
exam and oral testing.
