EVOLUTION OF THE OPERATING SYSTEM Operating systems as they are known today trace their lineage to the first distinctions between hardware and software. The first digital computers of the 1940s had no concept of abstraction; their operators inputted machine code directly to the machines they were working on. As computers evolved in the 1950s and 1960s however‚ the distinction between hardware such as the CPU and memory (or Core as it was called then) and the software that was written on top of it

ROS (Robot Operating System) is a framework for robot software development‚ providing operating system-like functionality on top of a heterogenous computer cluster. ROS was originally developed in 2007 under the name switchyard by the Stanford Artificial Intelligence Laboratory in support of the Stanford AI Robot (STAIR[1]) project. As of 2008‚ development continues primarily at Willow Garage‚ a robotics research institute/incubator‚ with more than twenty institutions collaborating in a federated

1. Introduction: An operating system (OS) is a collection of software that manages computer hardware resources and provides common services for computer programs. The operating system is a vital component of the system software in a computer system. Application programs usually require an operating system to function. For any computer to function‚ it must have an operating system (OS). A powered computer with no operating system will only display coded text messages only understandable to the computer

changing an operating system......... An operating system is the program that manages all the application programs in a computer system. This also includes managing the input and output devices‚ and assigning system resources. Operating systems evolved as the solution to the problems that were evident in early computer systems‚ and coincide with the changing computer systems. Three cycles are clear in the evolution of computers‚ the mainframe computers‚ minicomputers and microcomputers‚ and each

2.1 TYPES OF OPERATING SYSTEM A. Batch Operating System- Batch processing is the most primitive type of operating system. Batch processing generally requires the program‚ data‚ & appropriate system commands to be submitted together in the form of a job. Batch operating systems usually allow little or no interaction between users & executing programs. Examples of such programs include payroll‚ forecasting‚ statistical analysis‚ & large scientific number-crunching programs. Serial processing combined
