ITEC856: Operating System Programming

In order to support new devices and constructs, operating systems require continual revision and expansion of their core facilities, from process management through to networking. The goal of this course is to introduce students to fundamental systems programming, patterns and properties, including modularity, textuality, transparency and configurability. The practical component of the course will introduce procedural programming using C, and students will be required to develop device drivers for the Linux operating system to explore the real-time hardware-software interface.
