Features: The operating system is an indispensable basic system software in computer systems, primarily used to manage and control the software and hardware resources of the computer system, improve resource utilization, and provide users with a convenient, flexible, secure, and reliable working environment for using computers. Computer operating systems are the most fundamental system software in computer systems, responsible for managing and controlling the software and hardware resources of the entire system and providing users with a good computing environment. This book is divided into four parts. The first part primarily introduces the basic principles of operating systems, the functions and basic characteristics of three basic operating systems (batch, time-sharing, and real-time), the basic functions of operating systems (processor management, job management, memory management, file management, and device management), and the further development of operating systems. The second part introduces the specific implementation techniques of the functional components of UNIX and Linux operating systems. The third part is the Windows 2000 operating system, introducing the technology of designing operating systems using object-oriented methods. The fourth part introduces the implementation techniques of network and distributed systems.
This book focuses on the basic principles and implementation techniques of operating systems while also paying attention to practical applications. During the writing process, it emphasizes the absorption of the latest operating system theories and implementation techniques from domestic and international sources to reflect the new trends in the development of modern operating systems.
This book can serve as a textbook and reference book for computer science majors and related computer application majors in higher education institutions, including electronic engineering and automatic control, as well as a reference book for computer researchers and practitioners.
