Résumé

Intended for juniors, seniors, and first-year graduate students, Max Hailperin's Operating Systems and Middleware: Supporting Controlled Interaction takes a modern approach to the traditional Operating Systems course. By using this innovative text, students will obtain an understanding of how contemporary operating systems and middleware work, and why they work that way. They will also gain practical skills including the ability to reason about and program concurrent computations, understand hardware/software interactions, use empirical measurement to guide design, and analyze system security.

Features

Provides a contemporary approach to the upper-level operating systems course by focusing on support for controlled interaction between computations.
Draws concrete examples from real systems such as Linux, Mac OS X, Microsoft Windows, IBM iSeries, and Oracle.
Contains sections in each chapter which address the security issues raised by that chapter's topic. One chapter is devoted entirely to security as well, in order to build further on the per-chapter material.
Engages students in performing measurement studies and reporting their results.
