Operating Systems

Operating Systems is aimed at developing an understanding of the fundamental concepts and techniques of operating systems. This book discusses concepts, structure and techniques of operating systems – encompassing everything from low-level device drivers to concurrency, etc. The text is presented in a lucid language, which sustains the readers’ interest and also makes the understanding of the concepts very easy. Each chapter in the text is supplemented with ‘chapter-end exercises’, ‘points to be remembered’ and ‘assistance for section exercises’ after each section, thus making it even more reader-friendly. The organization of the learning material differs greatly from the organization of a book; the main idea being to help the reader understand the concepts involved in operating systems very easily. This learning material will be very useful to students opting for BE/BTech (Computer Science) and MCA programmes, as well as to practicing engineers. It will go a long way in helping students understand the concepts of operating systems not only in academic exams but also in competitive exams.
