Total Hrs.60 L: T: P – 4:0:0

Course Objectives:
 Relate how programs run in user space and how the interact with the OS.
 Illustrate the basics of system programs like editors,, assembler, linker, loader,
interpreter and debugger.
 Describe the various concepts of assemblers and macro processors.
 Demonstrate how linker and loader create an executable program from an object
module created by assembler and compiler.
 List various editors and debugging techniques.

Course Outcomes:
Upon Completion of the course, the students will be able to:
 Explain the role played by system software such as assembler, interpreter, linker,
loader and compilers in the development of IT solutions.
 Distinguish software into different categories..
 Describe one pass, two pass or multi pass assembler.
 Design, analyze and implement loader and linker.
 Design, analyze and implement macro processors.
 Critique the features of modern editing /debugging tools.
