The System Call Interface (SCI) acts as a critical bridge between user applications and the operating system kernel, allowing programs to request services such as file manipulation, process control, and communication. It provides a controlled and secure environment for executing privileged operations by abstracting the complex details of hardware management and resource allocation.

user applications

The operating system kernel is the core component of an operating system, managing system resources and facilitating communication between hardware and software. It acts as a bridge between applications and the data processing performed at the hardware level, ensuring efficient and secure operations.

Process control is a discipline that focuses on designing and implementing systems to maintain desired outputs in industrial processes by continuously monitoring and adjusting operational variables. It is essential for ensuring efficiency, safety, and product quality in manufacturing and other process-driven industries.

Communication is the process of exchanging information, ideas, and feelings between individuals or groups through verbal, non-verbal, written, or visual means. Effective communication requires clarity, active listening, and an understanding of cultural and contextual nuances to ensure the intended message is accurately received and understood.
