Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. This text takes an approach to teaching operating systems that aims to be different in several different ways: it presents the basic theory of operating system design and implementation in some depth; and it exposes the student to the internals of operating systems by demonstrating how the mechanisms and algorithms are actually implemented in practice. Throughout the theory is illustrated by one running example, Linux, as implemented on a PC. This system is in widespread use in teaching institutions, and its source code is readily and freely available; as each particular topic is being examined in theory, and in its practical implementation, students are introduced to the related system services. The POSIX interface is used for this. The book should appeal to an instructor who is already facing the challenge of drawing material from many sources. It should also encourage others to take up this approach to the teaching of operating systems. It is aimed particularly at operating system modules in specialist computer systems or computer science courses or computer science majors in general science courses it would also be suitable for students on specialist postgraduate courses. While primarily intended as an academic textbook, it will also be of interest in the non-academic field to users of Linux wishing to know more about it. This book takes an approach to teaching operating systems that is new in several different ways; it presents the basic theory of operating system design and implementation in some depth; it exposes the student to the internals of operating systems by demonstrating how the mechanisms and algorithms are actually implemented in practice. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Operating Systems is aimed at students at undergraduate and postgraduate levels, particularly those taking a module in a specialist computer systems or computer science course. It takes a new approach to operating systems, integrating three fundamental elements into one convenient and comprehensive text: It presents the basic theory of operating system design and implementation in depth It uses Linux as a running example throughout the text to expose students to the internals of operating systems It gives a practical introduction to systems programming using the POSIX interfaceCurrently, such material has usually to be drawn from a variety of textbooks so Operating Systems provides a valuable resource for student and lecturer alike. The book aims to give the student a thorough knowledge of how operating systems work, and how they are implemented in practice. It develops a robust understanding of the concepts and building blocks which, although grounded in Linux, provide experience which will be transferable to other systems that the student will meet. Each chapter has a set of discussion questions and suggested reading to further stimulate thought. Whilst primarily written for the academic student, the material will also be of interest to users of Linux in the professional field who wish to increase their knowledge.John O'Gorman is a Lecturer in the Department of Computer Science and Information Systems at the University of Limerick. He has previously published a textbook on operating systems within the Palgrave Grassroots series.The Cornerstones of Computing series is dedicated to providing readers with rigorous and challenging texts that cover the breadth of computing science. The books published in this auspicious series are written by leading experts, reviewed by their peers, and offer a quality of text unsurpassed in today's market.Series Editors Professor Richard Bird is Director of the Computing Laboratory and head of the Programming Research Group at Oxford University. He is also the author of several successful books, including the best-selling 'Introduction to Functional Programming' ( Prentice Hall ) Professor Tony Hoare was formerly at Oxford and is now working at the Microsoft European Research HQ in Cambridge. He is the author of several textbooks, including 'Communicating Sequential Processes' ( Prentice Hall ).
