Throughout this course, I have built a concept map that incrementally connected the major features, structures, and mechanisms of OS theory. The map visually represents how core components such as processes, memory, file systems, input/output (I/O), and security interact to form the foundation of operating systems. By integrating all five sections, I can now answer the focus question: What are the fundamental concepts that underlie operating systems? Features and Structures of Contemporary Operating Systems The first section of my concept map highlights the features and structures of contemporary operating systems. The featur...
