Operating Systems: Internals and Design Principles (8th Edition)

<p style="margin:0px;"> <i>Operating Systems: Internals and Design Principles is intended for use in a one- or two-semester undergraduate course in operating systems for computer science, computer engineering, and electrical engineering majors. It also serves as a useful reference for programmers, systems engineers, network designers and others involved in the design of computer products, information system and computer system personnel.</i> </p> <p style="margin:0px;"> <i>Operating Systems </i>provides a comprehensive and unified introduction to operating systems topics. Stallings emphasizes both design issues and fundamental principles in contemporary systems and gives readers 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 book illustrates and reinforces design concepts and ties them to real-world design choices through the use of case studies in Linux, UNIX, Android, and Windows 8.</p> <p style="margin:0px;"> <b>Teaching and Learning Experience</b> </p> <p style="margin:0px;">This program presents a better teaching and learning experience–for you and your students.
