Publisher's Synopsis
For the past two decades, dinosaurs have roamed the cover of Silberschatz, Galvin, and Gagne′s OPERATING SYSTEM CONCEPTS . The product of a long process of evolutionary adaptations, this best–selling text has continually evolved to address the latest trends in operating system design. With its strong emphasis on underlying concepts and rich selection of examples and case studies, no other text provides such a solid theoretical foundation for understanding operating systems.
Now in a fully revised and updated Sixth Edition, OPERATING SYSTEM CONCEPTS offers new chapters on Threads and Windows 2000, as well as new and expanded coverage of the client–server model and NFS, small footprint operating systems for PDAs, real–time operating systems, Linux, FreeBSD, distributed operating systems, and more.
