Rcs401: Operating Systems Unit I: References

This document outlines the units and topics covered in the RCS401 Operating Systems course. The five units cover introduction to operating systems and their structures, concurrent processes and inter-process communication, CPU scheduling and deadlock, memory management and virtual memory, and I/O management, disk scheduling, and file systems. Key topics include processes, mutual exclusion, semaphores, scheduling algorithms, paging, segmentation, virtual memory, demand paging, cache memory, disk scheduling, and file organization. The document also provides 10 references for further reading on operating system concepts.
