Features: The author, Professor Tanenbaum, is an internationally renowned expert in computer science and a master in the fields of computer operating systems, distributed operating systems, and computer networks. This book is one of his three renowned operating system classics, the other two being "Modern Operating Systems" and "Operating Systems: Design and Implementation." These three textbooks are highly respected in the field of operating systems and have been widely adopted by universities both domestically and internationally. The book comprehensively and thoroughly elaborates on distributed operating systems, covering all aspects of distributed operating systems, with a focus on introducing the fundamental principles, algorithms, and implementation techniques for designing and constructing distributed operating systems. The first half of the book provides a relatively comprehensive introduction to four examples of distributed systems: Amoeba, Mach, Chorus, and OSF/DCE, explaining their design philosophies and implementation techniques. A distinctive feature of this book is the close integration of theory and practice, emphasizing both the systematic and advanced nature of fundamental knowledge while also addressing practical aspects. Therefore, the book is suitable for a wide range of audiences, serving as a teaching text for undergraduate and graduate courses on distributed operating systems, as well as a reference for researchers and engineering professionals engaged in distributed computing research and engineering applications.
