A True Textbook for an Introductory Course, System Administration Course, or a Combination Course Linux with Operating System Concepts, Second Edition merges conceptual operating system (OS) and Unix/Linux topics into one cohesive textbook for undergraduate students. The book can be used for a one- or two-semester course on Linux or Unix. It is complete with review sections, problems, definitions, concepts and relevant introductory material, such as binary and Boolean logic, OS kernels and the role of the CPU and memory hierarchy. Details for Introductory and Advanced Users The book covers Linux from both the user and system administrator positions. From a user perspective, it emphasizes command-line interaction. From a system administrator perspective, the text reinforces shell scripting with examples of administration scripts that support the automation of administrator tasks. Thorough Coverage of Concepts and Linux Commands The author incorporates OS concepts not found in most Linux/Unix textbooks, including kernels, file systems, storage devices, virtual memory and process management. He also introduces computer science topics, such as computer networks and TCP/IP, interpreters versus compilers, file compression, file system integrity through backups, RAID and encryption technologies, booting and the GNUs C compiler. New in this Edition The book has been updated to systemd Linux and the newer services like Cockpit, NetworkManager, firewalld and journald. This edition explores Linux beyond CentOS/Red Hat by adding detail on Debian distributions. Content across most topics has been updated and improved.

This textbook aims to prepare students, as well as, practitioners for software design and production. Keeping in mind theory and practice, the book keeps a balance between theoretical foundations and practical considerations. The book by and large meets the requirements of students at all levels of computer science and engineering/information technology for their Software design and Software engineering courses. The book begins with concepts of data and object. This helps in exploring the rationale that guide high level programming language (HLL) design and object oriented frameworks. Once past this post, the book moves on to expand on software design concerns. The book emphasizes the centrality of Parnas's separation of concerns in evolving software designs and architecture. The book extensively explores modelling frameworks such as Unified Modelling Language (UML) and Petri net based methods. Next, the book covers architectural principles and software engineering practices such as Agile – emphasizing software testing during development. It winds up with case studies demonstrating how systems evolve from basic concepts to final products for quality software designs. TARGET AUDIENCE • Undergraduate/postgraduate students of Computer Science and Engineering, and Information Technology • Postgraduate students of Software Engineering/Software Systems

Second edition of a guide to computer operating systems using the Linux operating system to illustrate the principal concepts. Describes and uses the text-based shell, but also introduces some graphical user interfaces based on X-Windows. Covers the requirements for accreditation for modules ITH406 and ITH407 of the National Information Technology Training package. Includes an index and a student working disk. The author teaches programming and operating systems in the TAFE division of Swinburne University.

By staying current, remaining relevant, and adapting to emerging course needs, Operating System Concepts by Abraham Silberschatz, Peter Baer Galvin and Greg Gagne has defined the operating systems course through nine editions. This second edition of the Essentials version is based on the recent ninth edition of the original text. Operating System Concepts Essentials comprises a subset of chapters of the ninth edition for professors who want a shorter text and do not cover all the topics in the ninth edition. The new second edition of Essentials will be available as an ebook at a very attractive price for students. The ebook will have live links for the bibliography, cross-references between sections and chapters where appropriate, and new chapter review questions. A two-color printed version is also available.

This book presents the basic theory of operating system design and implementation in some depth; it exposes the student to the internals of operating systems by demonstrating how the mechanisms and algorithms are actually implemented in practice. Throughout the book the theory is illustrated by one running example, Linux, as implemented on a PC. This system is in widespread use in teaching institutions, and its source code is readily and freely available; as each particular topic is being examined in theory, and in its practical implementation, students are introduced to the related system services. The POSIX interface is used for this. At present, there is no textbook suitable for a course such as outlined above. The material is spread over three textbooks, hence the present book, which integrates these three streams into one text. It should be attractive to an instructor who is already facing the challenge of drawing material from many sources. It should also encourage others to take up this new approach to the teaching of operating systems.

The tenth edition of Operating System Concepts has been revised to keep it fresh and up-to-date with contemporary examples of how operating systems function, as well as enhanced interactive elements to improve learning and the student’s experience with the material. It combines instruction on concepts with real-world applications so that students can understand the practical usage of the content. End-of-chapter problems, exercises, review questions, and programming exercises help to further reinforce important concepts. New interactive self-assessment problems are provided throughout the text to help students monitor their level of understanding and progress. A Linux virtual machine (including C and Java source code and development tools) allows students to complete programming exercises that help them engage further with the material. The Print Companion includes all of the content found in a traditional text book, organized the way you would expect it, but without the problems.

For a one-semester undergraduate course in operating systems for computer science, computer engineering, and electrical engineering majors. Winner of the 2009 Textbook Excellence Award from the Text and Academic Authors Association (TAA)! 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 new edition includes the implementation of web based animations to aid visual learners. At key points in the book, students are directed to view an animation and then are provided with assignments to alter the animation input and analyze the results. The concepts are then enhanced and supported by end-of-chapter case studies of UNIX, Linux and Windows Vista. These provide students with a solid understanding of the key mechanisms of modern operating systems and the types of design tradeoffs and decisions involved in OS design. Because they are embedded into the text as end of chapter material, students are able to apply them right at the point of discussion. This approach is equally useful as a basic reference and as an up-to-date survey of the state of the art.
