Emphasizing concepts and principles, this book provides readers with an accessible approach to software design. It presents several examples of commercial and research systems throughout the chapters to explain and justify the concepts. And the material presented is technically diverse, including discussions of state machines, logic, concurrent programming, and scheduling algorithms.

This text is designed for one-semester, undergraduate courses introducing operating systems and principles of operating systems in the departments of computer science and engineering, and information and computer science.
