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:

  • Describe methods and strategies for preventing and avoiding deadlock in operating systems.
  • Apply the concepts of deadlock prevention and avoidance in practical scenarios.

2. Instructional materials:

3. Teaching Learning Activities:

  • Enter the classroom, greet students and encourage then to focus and participate actively before starting the lesson for their concentration on the lesson.
  • Open first slide of presentation that shows what we are going to learn today "Deadlock Prevention and Deadlock Avoidance".
  • Begin the class by asking some questions about deadlock and its necessary condition that we have taught in previous class.
  • Begin the explanation of todays with etymological meaning of deadlock avoidance & deadlock prevention.
  • Explain various methods and strategies for preventing and avoiding deadlock, including deadlock prevention algorithms like Banker's algorithm and deadlock avoidance techniques like resource allocation graphs.
  • Summarize the key points of the lesson, emphasizing the importance of understanding and managing deadlocks in operating systems.
  • Encourage students to ask questions and clarify any doubts they may have before ending the lesson.

4. Assessment:

During the session, ask questions like,

  • Can anyone define what a deadlock is?
  • What do you think are the conditions necessary for a deadlock to occur?
  • Explain how Banker's algorithm helps in deadlock prevention.
  • Describe a scenario where deadlock avoidance techniques would be applied.

5. Evaluation:

Solve practice problems related to deadlock prevention algorithms and deadlock avoidance techniques.
