PRINCIPLES OF MODERN OPERATING SYSTEMS (W/CD) 2e(pb)2012
Author: GARRIDO
ISBN: 9789380853505
Publisher: VIVA BOOKS PRIVATE LIMITED
Category: COMPUTER SCIENCE  >-- SOFTWARE  >-- OPERATING SYSTEM Untitled Document
Edition: 2
Format: Paperback
Language: English
Pages: 563
 ABOUT THE TITLE
Revised and updated, the second edition of Principles of Modern Operating Systems presents a practical introduction to operating systems and illustrates these principles through a hands-on approach using accompanying simulation models developed in Java and C++. Written for upper-level undergraduate courses in computer science, it provides case studies throughout featuring the implementation of Java and C++ simulation models, giving students a thorough look at both the theoretical and practical concepts discussed in modern OS courses. This pedagogical approach is designed to present a clearer, more realistic look at OS concepts, techniques, and methods without sacrificing the theoretical rigor that is necessary at this level. The Second Edition is the ideal text for those interested in gaining comprehensive, hands-on experience using the modern techniques and methods necessary for working with these complex systems.

New and Key Features of the Second Edition:
• Includes a new Chapter 13, Virtual Machines
• Chapter 11 (Security and Protection), has been revised to include the most up-to- date information in this quickly changing field
• Chapter 12 (Networking and Distributed Systems) has been completely rewritten to provide a clearer description of networking and now includes material on grid systems
• Updated to include information on Windowsฎ 7 and Macintoshฎ OS x throughout the text
• Contains new material on basic hardware architecture that operating systems depend on
• Includes new material on handling multi-core CPUs

About the Authors:
Jose Garrido is an Associate Professor of Computer Science at Kennesaw State University in Georgia. He holds a Ph.D. in Information Technology from George Mason University, and has written numerous books and papers on using object-oriented programming in discrete-event simulation.

Richard Schlesinger teaches computer science at Kennesaw State University. His primary emphasis is on exploring new pedagogical methods in college level courses, as well as introducing computer programming to high school students. Prior to teaching at KSU, he received a Master’s degree in Computer Science from Illinois Institute of Technology and then spent 30 years in industry.
