Process Scheduling where to start

Hello, i'm absolutely new to the whole Operating Systems thing. I am pretty much level 0.

My assignment is to "simulate the execution of a stream of processes by a computer system, one CPU, many terminals 12 disk drives, 30 public mailboxes.

The professor runs a series of inputs which is a sequence of lines as in:

NDISKS 5
DISTKTIME 20
NBOXES 32
START 15
ect..

The program needs to read input queue and load into main memory the first process in the input file. Processes should be managed in a FIFO order.


So basically can anyone give me some resources or a general idea as to where to even start..

Thanks
