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.
