操作系统是计算机系统中极其重要的部分,也是计算机科学教育的基础课程。本书是在《操作系统概念》(第五版)的基础上编写而成,与该书风格不同,本书通过使用Java实例和众多当代操作系统(如Solaris 2和Windows NT)的实例来阐述操作系统的基本概念。
本书讨论了适用于大多数操作系统的概念,并采用Java语言进行描述。全书内容共分7部分:**部分,总论(第1~3章),主要介绍了操作系统的概念、作用、设计及构造,这些描述是基于史实的、说明性的,有基础的读者可以略读。第二部分,进程管理(第4~8章),主要介绍了进程调度、进程间通信、进程同步及死锁处理的多种方法,同时对线程进行了讨论。第三部分,��存和存储器管理(第9~13章),主要介绍了内存管理、虚拟内存、文件系统、I/O系统和海量存储器结构。第四部分,分布式系统(第14~17章)。第五部分,保护及**(第18~19章)。第六部分,案例研究(第20~22章),主要对UNIX Berkley 4.3BSD、Linux、与Microsoft NT等3个案例进行了详细介绍。第七部分,Java入门(附录)。全书各章均附有适量习题。

Applied Operating System Concepts is the first book to provide a precise introduction to the principles of operating systems with numerous contemporary code examples, exercises, and programming projects. Written by the leading authors in the field of operating systems, this book capitalizes on the power of Java(TM) technology to allow students to work with executable code for examples of core concepts. Features of Applied Operating System Concepts
* Presents real code examples using the Java programming language
* Uses Java technology to introduce difficult concepts like processes, process synchronization, and semaphores
* Describes the role of threads in modern operating systems and Java, and provides the opportunity to write multithreaded programs
* Introduces up-to-date distributed operating system topics (e.g., Java's Remote Method Invocation, CORBA, RPC) in one concise chapter
* Includes chapter-long case studies of UNIX, LINUX, and Windows NT(TM)
* Provides a Java Primer appendix
