I earned a PhD in theoretical physics (more specifically: lattice gauge theory). My thesis involved computer science (OOP) & meta techniques (literate programming). I was involved early in the development of the WWW and in virtual learning. I blog irregularly & I have also written some fiction. I'm interested in all things digital, especially in data science, machine learning and cybersecurity applications of these. On leave of absence from Berlin School of Economics and Law.

Description

An introduction to the components and organization of operating systems. Batch, interactive and distributed operating systems will be considered. Other topics include multiprogramming, multiprocessing, concurrent programming, memory management, and resource allocation. Prerequisite: CSC 265.
