Classification of Operating System

Abstract

This paper is all about the operating system and its classification. Operating system (OS) is a bridge between system and user. It is software which handles computer software and hardware resources. The operating system performs basic tasks, such as recognizing input from the keyboard, sending output to the display screen, controlling and allocating memories, keeping track of files and directories on the disk and controlling input and output devices. Application programs generally require an operating system to function. It is difficult to present a complete as well as deep amount of operating systems developed till today. So, this paper tries to overview only a subset of the available operating systems and its different categories. OS systems are being developed by a large number of academic and commercial organizations for the last several decades. This paper, therefore, concentrates on the different categories of operating systems with special emphasis to those that had deep impact on the evolution process. The aim of this paper is to provide a brief timely commentary on the different categories important operating systems available today. Examples of popular OS include Android, Linux, Osx, Microsoft windows, Windows phone.
