Topics of the practical course

This practical course is intended for students of the LMU and counts as part of the Computer Science Bachelor and Media Informatics Bachelor degree programs. During the practical course, selected problems and issues from the field of system-oriented programming will be dealt with. Topics and tasks include, but are not limited to:

• Specification of interfaces and modular structures of system software
• Formatted input/output
• Parser construction
• CPU scheduling
• Processes and their management
• Process communication and synchronization methods
• Signals, pipes and sockets
• Communication protocols
• The TCP/IP protocol family
• The client/server model

Prerequisites

In contrast to the software development practical course, previous knowledge of a specific programming language is not required. The required basic knowledge of the C programming language is taught in accompanying lectures and through practical excises at the start of the lecture period. Nevertheless, it is useful to have or learn basic knowledge of an imperative programming language (e.g. C/C++, Java) beforehand. It is also useful to be familiar with text editors.

Prerequisites for the participation of this practical course:

• Basic knowledge of an imperative programming language
• Timely application

An accompanying attendance of the lecture Operating Systems is also advisable, but not mandatory. Some of the concepts from the lecture will be practically implemented/applied in this course. Both courses complement each other in this sense.
