We does not promote any Piracy. The result is that, in many places, the narrative has been clarified and tightened, and illustrations have been improved. Beyond these refinements to improve pedagogy and user friendliness, the technical content of the book has been updated throughout to reflect the ongoing changes in this exciting field, and the instructor and student support has been expanded. In addition, a new section has been added on the use of containers. This book is about the concepts, structure, and mechanisms of operating systems.

Its purpose is to present, as clearly and completely as possible, the nature and characteristics of modern-day operating systems. This task is challenging for several reasons.

First, there is a tremendous range and variety of computer systems for which operating systems are designed.

These include embedded systems, smart phones, single-user workstations and personal computers, medium-sized shared systems, large mainframe and supercomputers, and specialized machines such as real-time systems. The variety is not just confined to the capacity and speed of machines, but in applications and system support requirements.

Second, the rapid pace of change that has always characterized computer systems continues without respite. A number of key areas in operating system design are of recent origin, and research into these and other new areas continues. In spite of this variety and pace of change, certain fundamental concepts apply consistently throughout.

To be sure, the application of these concepts depends on the current state of technology and the particular application requirements. The intent of this book is to provide a thorough discussion of the fundamentals of operating system design, and to relate these to contemporary design issues and to current directions in the development of operating systems.

This text is intended to acquaint the reader with the design principles and implementation issues of contemporary operating systems. Accordingly, a purely conceptual or theoretical treatment would be inadequate. This operating system incorporates many of the latest developments in operating system technology. In addition, Windows is one of the first important commercial operating systems to rely heavily on object-oriented design principles.
