DESCRIPTION:
An operating system is probably the most important part of the body of soft ware which goes with any modem computer system. Ideally the reader should have a knowledge of pro gramming and be familiar with general machine architecture, common data structures such as lists and trees, and the functions of system software such as compilers, loaders and editors. The book is therefore a suitable introduction to operating systems for students who have a basic grounding in computer science, or for people who have worked with computers for some time. Its importance is reflected in the large amount of manpower usually invested in its construction, and in the mystique by which it is often surrounded. It will also be helpful if he or she has had some experience of using a large operating system, seeing it, as it were, from the outside.. To the non-expert, the design and construction of operating systems has often appeared an activity impenetrable to those who do not practise it. I hope this book will go some way toward dispelling the mystique, and encourage a greater general under standing of the principles on which operating systems are constructed. The material in the book is based on a course of lectures I have given for the past few years to undergraduate students of computer science
Terrible This book must be from the 70's and is a totally succinct and useless version of OS. Tells you why you can't cram OS material into a small book.. A Customer said Great book. This is one of the best books on OS issues I have ever seen. Entertaing and problem oriented. If you can buy this one - do not hesitate! it is not outdated, because the most fundamental problems of OS design do not change so fast as version numbers ;-).. Paul Schwartzberg said Clear and succinct. This book isn't publish at the moment. It's better on the fundamentals of OS, than Tanenbaum or Stallings.
