Exploring Different Parts of an Operating System Using Venn Diagrams
An excellent way to explain how the different parts of an operating system (OS) support each other is by using a Venn
diagram. This can show how the different parts intersect to form the whole system.
In this project, you will create Venn diagrams displaying the different areas of an OS. Your Venn diagrams should illustrate
the five tasks that OSs perform, which are listed below:
1. process management,
2. memory management,
3. file system management,
4. device management, and
5. system security/network management.
For each task, you will include a Venn diagram and approximately two paragraphs of explanation. Each Venn diagram and
associated explanation will be on one page, for a project total of five pages. Your explanations should include the information
below.
Explain the components.
Describe the task’s role in OS security.
Identify the major tasks of an OS.
Examine how different networks are managed by the OS.
All sources must be referenced; paraphrased and quoted material must have accompanying citations and be
cited per APA style.
