Features: The book "Modern Operating System Tutorial" was written based on the research project "Research on the Content of New Operating System Textbooks" (Second Batch of National Higher Education Textbook Construction Committee). The multimedia teaching courseware accompanying this book is a research achievement of the "Nineth Five-Year Plan" National Key Science and Technology Research Project 96-750. To meet the needs of cultivating innovative talents in the 21st century, this book emphasizes the research methods and development patterns of the computer operating system discipline. Its features are as follows: , it introduces important concepts and conclusions of the operating system discipline to readers in plain language, and points out the significance of these conclusions for understanding the performance of surrounding operating system products and various phenomena occurring in computer systems. Along with the conclusions, it explains the key steps and methods for deriving these conclusions, enabling readers to acquire disciplinary knowledge while also understanding and mastering the basic research methods of this discipline. Second, the book organically integrates the latest achievements in recent years from the research field of the operating system discipline and the essential parts of mainstream operating systems with traditional teaching content, emphasizing the main roots, main branches, and basic development patterns of the operating system discipline knowledge system, guiding readers on the path to discovering and judging new knowledge growth points. Third, the book includes a certain number of thought-provoking questions and large-scale assignments such as course design to train readers in moving from imitation (based on examples and cases) to creativity. Fourth, the book provides multimedia teaching courseware, enabling both teaching and learning parties to keep up with and adapt to the development and changes of teaching models in the information age, while also facilitating self-study. The entire book is divided into thirteen chapters. Each chapter includes both general principles and specific examples, as well as both traditional content and new concepts and technologies, striving to achieve: carefully selected content with appropriate choices; dispersion of difficulties and a reasonable system. This book can serve as a textbook for operating system courses in computer and related disciplines in higher education institutions, and can also be used as a reference for candidates in the National Computer Rank Examination, adult self-study examinations, and computer application development personnel.
