➡➡➡➡➡➡➡➡➡➡➡➡➡

An operating system is a system software, that after being initially loaded into the computer by a good program, manages all the other programs in a computer.

The application programs make use of the operating system by making request for services through a different Application Program Interface (API). In addition, users can interact directly with operating systems through a user interface such as command language or Graphical User Interface(GUI).

Functions Performed by the OS :

♤ The operating system acts as an interface between the computer hardware and the user.

♤ It manages computer's memory.

♤ It handles interrupts.

♤ It schedules the jobs.

♤ It manages Input/Output devices.

All major computer platforms (hardware and software) required and sometimes include an Operating System. Linux, Windows, Mac, VMS, OS/400 X, and z/OS are examples of operating systems.

What is the relationship between interoperability and the other quality attributes highlighted in this book? For example, if two

Lina20 [59]

Answer:

Interoperability is the ability of or degree to which two or more systems usefully exchange information via interfaces in particular context. Interoperability can be defined in two ways which includes the ability to exchange data (syntactic interoperability) and also the ability to correctly interpret the data being exchanged (semantic interoperability).

If two systems failed to exchange information properly, it means they are not clear to interpret and not easy to communicate and get proper information from each other and that might result in a failed communication which is in turn result in security flaw.

Other quality attributes strongly related (at least potentially) to interoperability is Application Programming Interface (API)

API is a software intermediary that allows two applications to communicate to each other and are necessary for systems interoperability.
