Course objectives
The aim of the subject is to give an introductory overview of operating systems and computer networks. At the end of the course students will be able to understand basic principles of operating systems, their structure and functionality. Students will also understand basics of the computer networks. Seminars will allow students to practice the theoretical principles in real world situations.
