This subject is based on the skills and knowledge acquired in the subjects:
An operating system is a program that manages the hardware of a computer and ease the interaction between it and the user. Therefore, it is a low-level software element that acts as an interface between the high-level software and the hardware. In this subject we address how a program can finally run on a physical system (hardware), an critical knowledge for a computer engineer. It can be considered as one of the fundamental subjects of the degree and appears in all curricula, both national and international.
This subject belongs to a degree that complies with that specified in the Resolution of 8 June 2009, of the -Secretaría General de Universidades- that includes recommendations to be established in the University proposals of degrees related to the profession of Technical Engineer in Computer Science, and covering the specific competences common to the branch of computing [CO5] Knowledge, administration and maintenance of computer systems, services and applications, and [CO10] Knowledge of the characteristics, functionalities and structure of the Operating Systems and to design and implement applications based on their services. Therefore, this is a subject that must be taken on a compulsory basis in the curriculum, regardless of the specific technology that the student wants to enroll.
The knowledge acquired in this subject is complemented, not only with those obtained in the subjects mentioned in the section of prerequisites, but also with those of other subjects in the curriculum (Computer Organization, Concurrent Programming and Real Time) as well as with those of higher course subjects (Distributed Systems, Operating Systems II, etc.).
