Abstract:Operating systems (OS) is an important and mandatory discipline in many Computer Science, Information Systems, and Computer Engineering curricula. Some of its topics require a careful and detailed explanation from the instructor as they often involve theoretical concepts and somewhat complex mechanisms, demanding a certain degree of abstraction from the students if they are to gain a full understanding. The aim of this study was to design and evaluate the software tool Alg_OS. This software tool was designed t… Show more
“…Alg_OS and Proc_OS are two interactive web‐based software tools to address the learning weaknesses of undergraduate students studying Operating Systems. Alg_OS clearly demonstrates the behaviour of page replacement algorithms (Optimal, FIFO, LRU, and CLOCK) through a part of training lessons and provides a convenient way to illustrate page faults and their corresponding page fault costs.…”
In this paper, we introduce the analysis and the design of a new web-based interactive software tool, called WebUbu, which has been developed to serve the undergraduate students' needs related to Linux Operating System (OS) issues.

“…Por último, en 2013 se publica un trabajo sobre un simulador dedicado exclusivamente a la gestión de memoria: Alg_OS (Garmpis, 2013). El simulador corre sobre un navegador web y está especialmente dedicado a mostrar el funcionamiento de los algoritmos de reemplazo de páginas.…”
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
