This text, Applied Operating Systems Concepts, is based on the best selling text Operating System Concepts, 5/e (OSC), 1998 by Abraham Silberschatz and Peter Baer Galvin. Like OSC, Applied provides a clear description of the concepts that underlie operating systems. One of the key differences is that Java is used to present many of these ideas and included are numerous examples that pertain specifically to popular operating systems such as UNIX, Solaris 2, Windows NT, Mach, the Apple Macintosh OS, IBM′s OS/2 and Linux. The advent of Java technology has given the authors an excellent vehicle to illustrate many of the most important concepts in modern operating systems today. Topics like multitasking, CPU scheduling, process synchronization, deadlock, security, and distributed systems lend themselves very well to demonstrations using Java technology.

Applied Operating System Concepts is the first book to provide a precise introduction to the principles of operating systems with numerous contemporary code examples, exercises, and programming projects. Written by the leading authors in the field of operating systems, this book capitalizes on the power of Java(TM) technology to allow students to work with executable code for examples of core concepts. Features of Applied Operating System Concepts
∗ Presents real code examples using the Java programming language
∗ Uses Java technology to introduce difficult concepts like processes, process synchronization, and semaphores
∗ Describes the role of threads in modern operating systems and Java, and provides the opportunity to write multithreaded programs
∗ Introduces up–to–date distributed operating system topics (e.g., Java′s Remote Method Invocation, CORBA, RPC) in one concise chapter
∗ Includes chapter–long case studies of UNIX, LINUX, and Windows NT(TM)
∗ Provides a Java Primer appendix
