Synopsis
The development of hardware over the last few years means that the personal computers of today are vastly more powerful than the mainframes discussed in the first edition of this book in 1970. The emphasis in this new edition is therefore on operating systems for personal computers and engineering workstations, though mainframes are discussed towards the end of the book. This book should provide the reader with a sound grasp of the principles of operating systems and how they relate to practice. For most topics the discussion of principles is followed by a detailed discussion of implementation in at least one representative system. The author has drawn his examples from operating systems that are not specific to a particular computer manufacturer, except in the case of the Apple Macintosh system, which is currently the sole mass-market example of an interesting new breed of systems. This book should be of interest to second and third year undergraduate students of computer science.
