Summary: This highly successful book clearly presents the general principles of operating systems and provides detailed coverage of the most important real systems in the marketplace. Three important themes weave through the new edition: parallel processing, distributed systems, and open systems. The book examines the operating systems that run in multiprocessing environments and covers distributed computing in the context of open systems interconnection (OSI) standards and protocols.
