answer the questions based on the scenarios:

Question $6$:

Concurrency and Synchronization;

Your operating system supports multi$-$threaded applications, but users have reported

occasional data corruption and application crashes. How would you address these

issues related to concurrency and synchronization?

Question $7$:

: Influences of Security, Networking, Multimedia, Windows

Question:

A multimedia company is developing a new video editing software that requires high

performance and secure handling of multimedia files.

$1.$ Explain how the operating system can influence the performance and security

of the video editing software.

$2.$ Discuss the role of networking in the context of collaborative video editing and

how the operating system can support this functionality.

$3.$ Identify potential security threats to the video editing software and propose

solutions to mitigate these threats.

Question $8$:

Distributed System;

You are tasked with managing a network of servers in a data center. One server in the

cluster is experiencing high traffic, while others are underutilized. How would you

optimize resource allocation in this distributed system?

Question $9$:

Structuring Methods $($Monolithic$,$ Layered, Modular, Micro$-$Kernel Models$)$

Question:

A tech startup is evaluating different operating system architectures for their new IoT

device.

$1.$ Compare the monolithic, layered, modular, and micro$-$kernel models in terms of

their structure, performance, and maintainability.

$2.$ Recommend the most suitable architecture for the IoT device and justify your

choice.

$3.$ Discuss the potential challenges in implementing the chosen architecture and

propose solutions to address them.

Question $10$:

Abstractions, Processes, and Resources

Question:

A cloud service provider is designing a new operating system to manage virtual

machines and resources in their data centers.

$1.$ Explain the abstractions that the operating system should provide to manage

processes and resources in a cloud environment.

$2.$ Discuss how the operating system can ensure efficient resource allocation and

load balancing across multiple virtual machines.

$3.$ Propose mechanisms to handle resource contention and ensure fair resource

distribution among virtual machines.
