CS241-15 Operating Systems and Computer Networks Academic year 21/22 Department Computer Science Level Undergraduate Level 2 Module leader Arpan Mukhopadhyay Credit value 15 Module duration 10 weeks Assessment Multiple Study location University of Warwick main campus, Coventry Download as PDF Description Study Assessment Availability Introductory description To introduce the fundamental concepts of modern day operating systems and computer networks. Module aims To introduce the fundamental concepts of modern day operating systems and computer networks. Outline syllabus This is an indicative module outline only to give an indication of the sort of topics that may be covered. Actual sessions held may differ. 50% of the module is on operating systems, and 50% is on computer networks. Topics on operating systems include functions of operating systems and computer networks, system interfaces, process management, concurrency, low level IPC, high level IPC, deadlock detection and recovery, and memory management. Topics on networks include models of communication (TCP IP protocol stack), LANs (topologies, polling, CSMA systems, Ethernet, bridging, switching), WANs (topologies, packet / circuit switching, routing algorithms, ), client-server systems, socket programming, network management issues (performance, security, monitoring), UDP, TCP reliable data transfer, flow control, congestion control, IP addressing, Internet routing algorithms Learning outcomes By the end of the module, students should be able to: - Understand the generic requirements, structure, operation, and administration of a modern operating system. - Analyse, design, and write programs at the operating systems level. - Understand the requirements and design of modem network protocols and systems, their operation and use by applications.
