What do you mean by Batch processing, multiprogramming, multiprocessing, Real time ,time sharing and Network operating system ?


Answer: 
Operating system can be classified into the following categories__

Batch processing operating system.
1.      Multiprogramming operating system.
2.      Multiprocessing operating system.
3.      Time sharing operating system.
4.      Real time operating system.
5.      Network operating system.


Batch processing operating system:Batch processing is a technique in which Operating System collects one programs and data together in a batch before processing starts.

Multiprogramming operating system:Multiprogramming is a rudimentary form of parallel processing in which several programs are run at the same time on a uniprocessor.

Multiprocessing operating system:Multiprocessing is the coordinated processing of programs by more than one computer processor.

Multiprocessing operating system:Multiprocessing is the coordinated processing of programs by more than one computer processor.

Time sharing operating system:A time sharing system allows many users to share the computer resources simultaneously. In other words, time sharing refers to the allocation of computer resources in time slots to several programs simultaneously.

Real time operating system: A real-time operating system is an operating system that guarantees a certain capability within a specified time constraint.


Network operating system:A network operating system (NOS) is a computer operating system system that is designed primarily to support workstation, personal computer, and, in some instances, older terminal that are connected on a local area network (LAN).
