| Learning Outcomes |
Competences |
| Students understand fundamental operating system concepts and functions and are able to use them in practice, to program them from the application level, and to analyse their impact for specific systems and select the appropriate best option. Independent development of new operating system components is explicitly not in scope of this course.
