Features: The operating system is the core system software of a computer system, responsible for controlling and managing the entire system to ensure coordinated operation. This book not only comprehensively and systematically explains the basic concepts, principles, and methods of operating systems but also takes contemporary popular operating systems—Windows, UNIX, and Linux—as examples to clearly demonstrate the essence and characteristics of modern operating systems, making the content of the book both advanced and adaptable. The book emphasizes the discussion of classic operating system content while closely linking with contemporary popular design issues and current development trends in operating systems. It can serve as a textbook and reference book for undergraduate students in computer science or related computer application majors, as well as for professional technicians engaged in computer-related research.
