Period: Third

Topic: Process Management

Teaching Item: Inter-process Communication

Class: BICT 4th Semester

Unit: Two

Time: 50 min

No. of Students: 20

1. Specific Objective:

At the end of this lesson, students will be able to:

Understand the concept of Inter-process Communication (IPC) in operating systems.
Explain Shared Memory and Message Passing mechanisms for IPC through their diagrammatic representation.

As I enter the classroom, I will greet the students warmly and motivate them by expressing the importance of understanding IPC mechanisms for efficient computing.
After gaining their attention, I will write today's topic, "Interprocess Communication with its Mechanisms: Shared Memory & Message Passing," on the board.
To activate prior knowledge, I will begin the class by asking questions related to IPC, such as "What do you understand by Interprocess Communication?" and "Can you think of any real-world examples where IPC is used?"
Following the discussion, I will open the presentation slides and provide a concise introduction to the topic, outlining the basic concepts of IPC and introducing Shared Memory and Message Passing as two key mechanisms.
Utilizing examples and diagrams, I will explain each mechanism in detail, highlighting their advantages, disadvantages, and use cases.
To ensure understanding, I will encourage class participation by asking questions throughout the session and providing opportunities for students to share their insights and experiences related to IPC.
I will conclude the lesson by summarizing the key points covered and reinforcing the learning objectives.

During the session, ask questions like,

Write about real-world applications of Shared Memory and Message Passing in operating systems.
