Applied Operating Systems Concepts

This second edition provides a clear description of the concepts that underlie operating systems. It uses Java to illustrate many of these ideas and includes numerous examples that pertain specifically to popular operating systems such as UNIX, Solaris 2, Windows NT, Mach, the Apple Macintosh OS, IBM's OS/2 and Linux. It is even more hands-on than before with several programming examples written in Java and C. New coverage includes advances in Windows 2000/XP, Linux, Solaris 9 and Mac OS X.
