Answer the questions below by reading the scenarios.

Question$1$:

A new operating system, OS$-$X$,$ is being developed for a range of devices including

desktops, servers, and mobile devices. The development team needs to ensure that the

OS can handle various functions efficiently.

$1.$ Describe how OS$-$X should manage memory, processes, and file systems to

ensure optimal performance across different devices.

$2.$ Explain the role of device drivers in OS$-$X and how they contribute to the overall

functionality of the operating system.

$3.$ Discuss the potential challenges in designing a universal operating system for

different types of devices and propose solutions to address these challenges.

Question $2$:

Role and Purpose of the Operating System;

A company is developing a new application that requires high reliability and real$-$time

processing. The application will be used in a medical device that monitors patient

vitals and triggers alerts in case of abnormalities.

$1.$ Explain the role of the operating system in ensuring the reliability and real$-$time

performance of the application.

$2.$ Discuss the specific features and mechanisms that the operating system should

provide to support this application.

$3.$ Identify potential risks and challenges in deploying this application and how

the operating system can mitigate them.

Question $3$:

Mechanisms to Support Client$-$Server Models and Hand$-$Held Devices;

A software company is developing a new client$-$server application that will run on both

desktop and mobile devices.

$1.$ Explain the mechanisms that the operating system should provide to support

client$-$server communication.

$2.$ Discuss the challenges of developing a client$-$server application for both

desktop and mobile platforms and how the operating system can help address

these challenges.

$3.$ Propose strategies to ensure seamless synchronization and data consistency

between the client and server

question $4$:

Process Scheduling

You are the administrator of a multi$-$user operating system, and users have reported

performance issues. The system becomes unresponsive when too many processes run

simultaneously. How would you address this problem using process scheduling

strategies?

Question $5$:

: Design Issues $($Efficiency$,$ Robustness, Flexibility, Portability, Security,

Compatibility$)$

Question:

A new operating system, Secure OS$,$ is being designed with a focus on security and

robustness for enterprise environments.

$1.$ Describe the design considerations that should be taken into account to ensure

the efficiency, robustness, flexibility, portability, security, and compatibility of

Secure OS$.$

$2.$ Discuss the trade$-$offs between security and performance in the design of

Secure OS$.$

$3.$ Propose mechanisms to enhance the security of Secure OS without significantly

compromising its performance.
