Written by the inventor of the MINIX software, Andrew S. Tanenbaum, along with Albert S. Woodhull, the Third Edition of this best selling text on Operating Systems strikes a fine balance between theory and practice. The text has been thoroughly updated to reflect the latest advances in OS design and implementation, and provides a deep insight into the working of operating systems. The authors give a masterly analysis of the fundamental principles, with many hands-on-examples to elucidate these principles. The new edition includes, MINIX 3, more compact, more reliable, better suited for embedded applications-and, above all, even easier to teach and learn from. Using MINIX, the authors introduce virtually every core concept needed to construct a working OS: system calls, processes, IPC, scheduling, I/O, dead-locks, memory management, threads, file systems, security, and more.ISBN-- 9788120329553
