Abstract

This work provides a thorough analysis of technological advancements and challenges in the field of operating systems (OS). Starting with fundamental principles, the studycharts the evolution of operating systems, emphasizing significant milestones and contributions. It explores the impact of technological advancements such as virtualization, multiprocessing, and cloud computing on the design and functionality of operating systems. Furthermore, it discusses challenges in OS research and development, including security, real-time computing, and energy efficiency. The objective of this examination is to provide perspectives on the technological progress and obstacles encountered in the realm of operating systems.
