An Introduction to Operating Systems: 1st revised edn.
Addison Wesley. 1984
This up-to-the minute book provides complete coverage of
all the fundamental concepts of operating systems—process management,
storage management, performance and modeling.
In addition, it covers in detail the latest innovations and “hot” topics,
such as network operating systems and system security—all
in a style that is thorough, accurate, and interesting.
The most outstanding feature of the book is five case studies of the most significant operating systems currently available—the UNIX system, VAX/VMS, CP/M, MVS, and VM. There are also case studies within the case studies: XENIX within the UNIX system case study; MP/M and CP/NET within the discussion of CP/M.
Another important feature of the book is its presentation of an Ada based treatment of concurrent programming.
More than 500 exercises, 200 pieces of art, and 100 charts, tables, and program listings further clarify and strengthen this extraordinary introduction to operating systems.
