After completing the course:
- You can explain the concepts of processes & threads as used in modern operating systems.
- You can explain the basic principles of concurrency, and describe commonly used synchronisation primitives.
- You are able to solve simple synchronisation problems and to establish the correctness of your solution.
- You can explain the basic concepts and algorithms for memory management and virtual memory.
- You can explain and apply basic algorithms for solving scheduling problems.
- You can explain the mechanisms used to communicate with the kernel, with hardware and perform I/O.

| Dit vak wordt in het Engels gegeven. |
The following topics will be discussed during the course:
* processes and threads,
* concurrency, for example: mutual exclusion, semaphores, monitors, message passing, deadlock, starvation,
* memory management, virtual memory,
* resource allocation and scheduling,
* communications between processes, kernel and hardware,
* I/O systems. |
| Examination is an integrated part of the course with an obligatory practicum and a final exam. In determining the final grade, the practicum and the exam weight equally heavy. There is a resit for the exam, but not for the practicum. In addition, a bonus on the exam grade may be earned by weekly homework assignments. |
| One must know the basics of programming and have an elementary understanding of hardware. |
