The ways in which we use computing devices is radically changing. With these changes and the advent of concepts like the “Internet of Things,” we cannot simply take a single concept of a computer as the de facto standard.

This course will make sure students avoid that pitfall as they’re exposed to the essentials of how operating systems work (the fundamental concepts and algorithms used) and how those operating systems have evolved to include virtualization and distributed systems over time.
Students will also study how OS resources may be consumed via networking. What is commonly called “cloud computing” has stretched what we think of a computing device across the globe as a connected system of services/processes. By the end of this course, students will have the ability to leverage and apply knowledge from class in real-world operating systems based in today’s cloud world.
