0.0

Operating Systems: Internals and Design Principles is a comprehensive and unified introduction to operating systems. By using several innovative tools, Stallings makes it possible to understand critical core concepts that can be fundamentally challenging. The concepts are then enhanced and supported by end-of-chapter case studies of UNIX, Linux and Windows Vista. Features Web-based animations illustrate important and complex OS mechanisms. A new chapter on embedded Operating Systems has been added Additional text and figures have been added to enhance clarity Now focuses on Windows Vista rather than Windows XP About The Author William Stallings has made a unique contribution to understanding the broad sweep of technical developments in computer networking and computer architecture.
