Parametric Optimization of Some Critical Operating System Functions--An Alternative Approach to the Study of Operating Systems Design
Sobh, Tarek M.; Tibrewal, Abhilasha
Journal of STEM Education: Innovations and Research, v7 n3-4 p58-79 Jul-Dec 2006
Operating systems theory primarily concentrates on the optimal use of computing resources. This paper presents an alternative approach to teaching and studying operating systems design and concepts by way of parametrically optimizing critical operating system functions. Detailed examples of two critical operating systems functions using the presented pedagogical approach are included.
