About this title

Synopsis

A text intended as a modern replacement for a first course in operating systems modern in the sense that concurrency is a central focus throughout; distributed systems are treated as the norm rather than single-processor systems, and effective links are provided to other systems courses. It is also

From the Publisher

A unified approach to operating systems & database concepts
This book answers the need for a textbook on concurrent programming which serves to integrate operating systems and database concepts, and provides a foundation for later study in these areas. It goes on to provide further material on distributed systems which have become increasingly popular with the advent of the Internet and WWW, the object-oriented approach to design is now securely established.

It uses Window environments more prominently as an example of concurrent processes and multi-threaded processes. It includes coverage of security and protection throughout to make the book more self-standing as an operating systems text.

Examples are designed to give integrated perspective to operating systems and database applications. Programming examples are not confined to a single language so will accommodate students from a wide range of backgrounds.
