In this comprehensive guide, we demystify 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 reasonable balance between theoretical design issues and practical implementation details. It addresses most of the issues that need to be resolved in the design and development of continuously evolving, rich, diversified modern operating systems and describes successful implementation approaches in the form of abstract models and algorithms. This book is primarily intended for use in undergraduate courses in any discipline and also for a substantial portion of postgraduate courses that include the subject of operating systems. It can also be used for self-study.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKey Features:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eExhaustive discussions on traditional uniprocessor-based generic operating systems with figures, tables, and also real-life implementations of Windows, UNIX, Linux, and to some extent Sun Solaris.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSeparate chapter on security and protection: a grand challenge in the domain of today's operating systems, describing many different issues, including implementation in modern operating systems like UNIX, Linux, and Windows.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSeparate chapter on advanced operating systems detailing major design issues and salient features of multiple-processor-based operating systems, including distributed operating systems. Cluster architecture; a low-cost base substitute for true distributed systems is explained, including its classification.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn conclusion, this book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in operating systems, whether they are students, professionals, or enthusiasts. It provides a comprehensive and accessible introduction to the subject, covering both traditional and modern operating systems and their applications. With its clear explanations, practical examples, and case studies, it will help you gain a deeper understanding of operating systems and their role in shaping the modern computing landscape.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1342g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 254 x 178 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781032467238\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pranabananda Chakraborty","offers":[{"title":"Unspecified","offer_id":44839571816698,"sku":"9781032467238","price":166.6,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1701448387927_book.jpg?v=1701587676","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/operating-systems-evolutionary-concepts-and-modern-design-principles-9781032467238","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
