- Process and Process Management: Process management encompasses various tasks associated with processing, including creation, scheduling, termination, deadlock resolution, and more. The operating system allocates resources to facilitate information exchange between processes. It also coordinates interactions among processes and protects the resources of other processes.
- Process Life Cycle: The process life cycle can be defined by a state diagram that has states representing the execution status of the process at various times and transitions that shows the changes in the execution status.
- States of Process: A process undergoes several stages from its initiation to completion, with a minimum of five states. While a process can exist in one of these states during execution, it’s important to note that the names of these states are not standardized.
