Introduction to Operating System Design and Implementation: The OSP 2 Approach (Undergraduate Topics in Computer Science)

by Michael Kifer (Author), ScottSmolka (Author)

Synopsis

This book is an introduction to the design and implementation of operating systems using OSP 2, the next generation of the highly popular OSP courseware for undergraduate operating system courses. Coverage details process and thread management; memory, resource and I/0 device management; and interprocess communication. The book allows students to practice these skills in a realistic operating systems programming environment. An Instructors Manual details how to use the OSP Project Generator and sample assignments. Even in one semester, students can learn a host of issues in operating system design.

Media Reviews

From the reviews:

This book is a manual for a hands-on computer science course on design principles and algorithms of modern operating systems. To convey essential features of today's operating systems, the authors have contrived an operating system framework, called OSP 2, written in Java, in order to assign projects that implement management of important operating system features.
