Andrew S. Tanenbaum

As distributed computer systems become more pervasive, there is a need for a book that explains how their operating systems are designed and implemented. This book, which is a revised and expanded Part II of the best selling MODERN OPERATING SYSTEMS, fulfills that need. KEY TOPICS: It covers the material from the original book, including communication, synchronization, processes and file systems, and adds new material on distributed shared memory. It also contains 4 detailed case studies, Amoeba, Mach, Chorus, and OSF/DCE. Tanenbaum's trademark writing style provides the reader with a thorough yet concise treatment of distributed systems.

En esta nueva edicion se reordenaron los capitulos para colocar el material central al principio. Tambien se puso mayor enfasis en el sistema operativo como el creador de las abstracciones. Los procesos, espacios de direcciones virtuales y archivos son los conceptos clave que proporcionan los sistemas operativos. Ventajas Competitivas: - Proporciona una introduccion al lenguaje de programacion C y al modelo de C en tiempo de ejecucion. - Analisis de los hilos (threads), se modifico y expandio para reflejar su nueva importancia. - Sobre la administracion de memoria, se reorganizo para poner enfasis en la idea de que una de las funciones clave de un sistema operativo es proporcionar la abstraccion de un espacio de direcciones virtuales para cada proceso.

Modern Operating Systems, Fourth Edition, is intended for introductory courses in Operating Systems in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, and Electrical Engineering programs. It also serves as a useful reference for OS professionals The widely anticipated revision of this worldwide best-seller incorporates the latest developments in operating systems (OS) technologies. The Fourth Edition includes up-to-date materials on relevant¿OS. Tanenbaum also provides information on current research based on his experience as an operating systems researcher. Modern Operating Systems, Third Editionwas the recipient of the 2010 McGuffey Longevity Award. The McGuffey Longevity Award recognizes textbooks whose excellence has been demonstrated over time. Teaching and Learning Experience This program will provide a better teaching and learning experience–for you and your students. It will help: - Provide Practical Detail on the Big Picture Concepts: A clear and entertaining writing style outlines the concepts every OS designer needs to master. - Keep Your Course Current: This edition includes information on the latest OS technologies and developments - Enhance Learning with Student and Instructor Resources: Students will gain hands-on experience using the simulation exercises and lab experiments.

Andrew Tanenbaum est l'un des «papes» de l'informatique moderne. Son «approche en six couches» et ses qualités pédagogiques exceptionnelles l'ont rendu mondialement célèbre. L'ouvrage «Architecture de l'ordinateur» est un cours incontournable de toute licence d'informatique. Dans cette nouvelle édition, l'auteur a intégré le langage Java, les systèmes d'exploitation modernes comme le Pentium II et les architectures parallèles.

Structured Computer Organization, specifically written for undergraduate students, is a best-selling guide that provides an accessible introduction to computer hardware and architecture. This text will also serve as a useful resource for all computer professionals and engineers who need an overview or introduction to computer architecture.

A contemporary, yet classic, introduction to today's key networking technologies Computer Networks, Fifth Edition, is the ideal introduction to the networking field. This bestseller reflects the latest networking technologies with a special emphasis on wireless networking, including 802.11, 802.16, Bluetooth™, and 3G cellular, paired with fixed-network coverage of ADSL, Internet over cable, gigabit Ethernet, MLPS, and peer-to-peer networks. Notably, this latest edition incorporates new coverage on 3G mobile phone networks, Fiber to the Home, RIFD, delay-tolerant networks, and 802.11 security, in addition to expanded material on Internet routing, multicasting, congestion control, quality of service, real-time transport, and content distribution. Authors Andrew Tanenbaum and Davis Wetherall describe the inner facets of the network, exploring its functionality from underlying hardware to applications, including: Physical layer (e.g., copper, fiber, wireless, satellites, and Internet over cable) Data link layer (e.g., protocol principles, protocol verification, HDLC, and PPP) MAC Sublayer (e.g., gigabit Ethernet, 802.11, broadband wireless, and switching) Network layer (e.g., routing algorithms, congestion control, QoS, IPv4, and IPv6) Transport layer (e.g., socket programming, UDP, TCP, RTP, and network performance) Application layer (e.g., e-mail, the Web, PHP, wireless Web, MP3, and streaming audio) Network security (e.g., AES, RSA, quantum cryptography, IPsec, and Web security) The book dissects and depicts the principles associated with each layer and then translates them through examples from the Internet and wireless networks.
