For one-semester, introductory courses in Operating Systems in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, and Electrical Engineering programs. Blending up-to-date theory with broad coverage of fundamentals, this text offers a comprehensive treatment of operating systems, with an emphasis on internals and design issues. The book provides a thorough discussion of the fundamentals of operating systems design and relates these principles to contemporary design issues and to current trends in the development of operating systems. It helps students develop a solid understanding of the key structures and mechanisms of operating systems, the types of trade-offs and decisions involved in OS design, and the context within which the operating system functions (hardware, other system programs, application programs, interactive users).

I studied from this book last Term in 2006. William Stalling is the best in his field. He opens Subjects in all fields with a very simple and encouraging way. He is unique as he is writing in the field in other subject Computer Organization, Data commuincation and others.I read each of these books. He had prizes on some of these books as being the best books in the field. Also by the end of each chapter he have a very challenging exercises with different programming projects. I prefer him than other authors in the same field, inspite of he isnot taking the same fame as the others as most of the big universities apply their material from other authors. The index is as follows PART ONE: BACKGROUND 1. Computer System Overview 2. Operating System Overview PART TWO: PROCESSES 3. Process Description and Control 4. Threads, SMP, and Microkernels 5. Concurrency: Mutual Exclusion and Synchronization 6. Concurrency: Deadlock and Starvation PART THREE: MEMORY 7. Memory Management 8. Virtual Memory PART FOUR: SCHEDULING 9. Uniprocessor Scheduling 10. Multiprocessor and Real-Time Scheduling PART FIVE: INPUT/OUTPUT AND FILES 11. I/O Management and Disk Scheduling 12. File Management PART SIX: DISTRIBUTED SYSTEMS 13.
