Almost everywhere you look, you see people using mobile devices. You cannot drive down the street, sit in a restaurant, play in a park, or shop without seeing someone talking on the phone, checking messages, or sending texts. These mobile devices range from watches to phones, tablets, and small handheld computers, and each must have an operating system to manage the hardware, software, and user interface.
ABC Inc. is growing and wants to enter the business in distributed operating systems and mobile app development. The chief information officer (CIO) of the company knows that you are the expert in these areas and wants you to provide a report where you should do the following:
Analyze 5 major characteristics of time-sharing systems and 5 major characteristics of distributed operating systems by comparing them with each other
Analyze 10 constraints that are put on the operating systems for these carry-along computers (e.g., watches, phones, tablets, and so on) by comparing them with the operating systems for regular computers (e.g., desktops, workstations, and so on).
Write the report in Microsoft Word using APA style. Cite references in APA format. Submit the Word document.
Please submit your assignment.
