Description

For one- or two-semester undergraduate courses in operating systems for computer science, computer engineering, and electrical engineering majors



An introduction to operating systems with up-to-date and comprehensive coverage

Now in its 9th Edition, Operating Systems: Internals and Design Principles provides a comprehensive, unified introduction to operating systems topics aimed at computer science, computer engineering, and electrical engineering majors. Author William Stallings emphasizes both design issues and fundamental principles in contemporary systems, while providing readers with a solid understanding of the key structures and mechanisms of operating systems. He discusses design trade-offs and the practical decisions affecting design, performance and security. The text illustrates and reinforces design concepts, tying them to real-world design choices with case studies in Linux, UNIX, Android, and Windows 10.



With an unparalleled degree of support for integrating projects into the course, plus comprehensive coverage of the latest trends and developments in operating systems, including cloud computing and the Internet of Things (IoT), the text provides everything students and instructors need to keep pace with a complex and rapidly changing field. The 9th Edition has been extensively revised and contains new material, new projects, and updated chapters.


Features

About the Book



Comprehensive and updated coverage on the field operating systems

REVISED! This edition was extensively reviewed by a number of professors who teach the subject and by professionals working in the field. As a result, the narrative has been clarified and tightened, and illustrations have been improved.
Four operating systems serve as running examples to illustrate the concepts and to tie them to real-world design choices that must be made: Linux, UNIX, Android, and Windows 10.
The book includes a number of pedagogic features, including the use of animations and videonotes and numerous figures and tables to clarify the discussion.
Each chapter includes a list of keywords, review questions, and homework problems.
Design concepts discussed in a given chapter are immediately reinforced with real-world examples.
Running case studies, focused on how specific operating systems implement specific concepts, illustrate concepts and are embedded throughout the text, rather than assembled as a single chapter or appendix.
Projects: This text provides an unparalleled degree of support for including a projects component in the course. The Instructor's Resource Center (IRC) not only includes guidance on how to assign and structure the various projects, but also includes a set of user´s manuals for various project types plus specific assignments, all written especially for this book. Instructors can assign work in the following areas:
OS/161 projects
Simulation projects
Semaphore projects
Kernel projects
Linux kernel projects
Android kernel projects
Programming projects
Research projects
Reading/report assignments
Writing assignments
Discussion topics

About the Book



This edition was extensively reviewed by a number of professors who teach the subject and by professionals working in the field. As a result, the narrative has been clarified and tightened, and illustrations have been improved.
Linux coverage: The Linux material has been updated and expanded to reflect changes in the Linux kernel since the 8th Edition.
Android coverage: The Android material has been updated and expanded to reflect changes in the Android kernel since the 8th Edition.
Virtualization coverage: The chapter on virtual machines has been completely rewritten to provide better organization and an expanded and more up-to-date treatment. In addition, a new section has been added on the use of containers.
Cloud operating systems: New to this edition is the coverage of cloud operating systems, including an overview of cloud computing, a discussion of the principles and requirements for a cloud operating system, and a discussion of a OpenStack, a popular open-source Cloud OS.
IoT operating systems: New to this edition is the coverage of operating systems for the Internet of Things. The coverage includes an overview of the IoT, a discussion of the principles and requirements for an IoT operating system, and a discussion of a RIOT, a popular open-source IoT OS.
Embedded operating systems: This chapter has been substantially revised and expanded, including:
The section on embedded systems has been expanded and now includes discussions of microcontrollers and deeply embedded systems.
The overview section on embedded OSs has been expanded and updated.
The treatment of embedded Linux has been expanded, and a new discussion of a popular embedded Linux system, µClinux, has been added.
Concurrency: New projects have been added to the Projects Manual to better help the student understand the principles of concurrency.
