Operating systems are an essential part of any computer system. Similarly, a course on operating systems is an essential part of any computer engineering education. This field is undergoing rapid change, as computers are now prevalent in virtually every arena of day-to-day life—from embedded devices in automobiles through the most sophisticated planning tools for governments and multinational firms. Yet the fundamental concepts remain fairly clear, and it is on these that we base this book...

Spread across 12 chapters, Operating Systems covers the essentials of the subject at the undergraduate level. Each chapter begins with a prelude that presents the conceptual base for the topic discussed in the chapter. The book deals at length with the basic design of operating system components using its associated data structures and algorithms, amply supported by illustrations and solved problems. It outlines the evolution of operating systems and probes contemporary computer system archit...

Operating systems (OS) are like the conductors of a digital orchestra, managing hardware resources, providing a user interface, and running applications. They handle tasks like memory management, process scheduling, and file management, ensuring smooth operation of a device. Different OS types, like Windows, macOS, Linux, and mobile OS like iOS and Android, cater to various devices and user needs. Understanding their role helps appreciate how our devices function seamlessly.

An operating system is probably the most important part of the body of soft ware which goes with any modern computer system. I ts importance is reflected in the large amount of manpower usually invested in its construction, and in the mystique by which it is often surrounded. 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 enc...

This text demystifies the subject of operating systems by using a simple step-by-step approach, from fundamentals to modern concepts of traditional uniprocessor operating systems, in addition to advanced operating systems on various multiple-processor platforms and also real-time operating systems (RTOSs). While giving insight into the generic operating systems of today, its primary objective is to integrate concepts, techniques, and case studies into cohesive chapters that provide a reaso...

Designed as a “teach-yourself” text, the book provides a step-by-step approach to clarify all of the key concepts, architectures, and components of operating systems. The book covers all of the topics from the basics to the latest mobile devices, and features key operating systems e.g., Android, iOS, Linux, and Windows 10. This book would be very useful not only as an introductory text for undergraduate students of computer science, but also for those professionals who need to review moder...
