CSC 435: Operating Systems

Fall 2003 Project

Design and build a simulation of a simple operating system using the features/constructs discussed in class. The components are process management, memory management, file management, and input/output management with deadlock and security as threads that run through the first four components.

For each component:

1. Identify features to use

2. Discuss tradeoffs between/among features

3. Document design

4. Implement component

End of Semester:

· Integrate components to product working simulation of an operating system

· Design document that includes tradeoff discussion

· Code

· Demonstration
