This edition of this worldwide best-seller incorporates the latest developments in operating systems technologies. It includes up-to-date materials on relevant operating systems such as Linux, Windows, and embedded real-time and multimedia systems.
Featuring an introduction to operating systems, this work reflects advances in OS design and implementation. Using MINIX, this book introduces various concepts needed to construct a working OS, such as system calls, processes, IPC, scheduling, I/O, deadlocks, memory management, threads, file systems, security, and more.
Computer Networks, Fourth Edition is the ideal introduction to computer networks. Renowned author, educator, and researcher Andrew S. Tanenbaum has updated his classic best seller to reflect the newest technologies, including 802.11, broadband wireless, ADSL, Bluetooth, gigabit Ethernet, the Web, the wireless Web, streaming audio, IPsec, AES, quantum cryptography, and more. Using real-world examples, Tanenbaum explains how networks work on the inside, from underlying physical layer hardware up through today's most popular network applications.
For courses on Distributed Systems, Distributed Operating Systems, and Advanced Operating Systems focusing on distributed systems found in departments of Computer Science, Computer Engineering and Electrical Engineering. Distributed systems are common. Computer scientists and engineers need to understand how the principles and paradigms underlying distributed systems software and be familiar with several real world examples. No other book systematically examines the underlying principles and how they are applied to a wide variety of distributed systems with the depth and clarity of this presentation. *First part of the book dedicates one chapter to each of seven key principles of all distributed systems -Communication, processes, naming, synchronization, consistency and replication, fault tolerance, and security, provides students with an understanding of the key principles, paradigms, and models on which all distributed systems are based. *Second part of the book devoted to real-world distributed case studies - Includes examples of object-based, document-based, file-based, and coordination-based systems including Corba, DCOM, Globe, NFS v4, Coda, WWW, and Jini. *Numerous end-of-ch
"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. This book takes a modern structured, layered approach to understanding computer systems. It's highly accessible - and it's been thoroughly updated to reflect today's most critical new technologies and the latest developments in computer organization and architecture. Tanenbaum's renowned writing style and painstaking research make this one of the most accessible and accurate books available, maintaining the author's popular method of presenting a computer as a series of layers, each one built upon the ones below it, and understandable as a separate entity.
Computernetzwerke in der fünften, komplett überarbeiteten Auflage ist die ideale Einführung in das Fachgebiet der Computernetzwerke. Dieses erfolgreiche Lehrbuch behandelt die neuesten Netztechnologien sowohl für Drahtlos- als auch Festnetzkommunikation. Dabei werden u.a. die folgenden Technologien diskutiert: IEEE 802.11 (WiFi), IEEE 802.16 (WiMax), Bluetooth und Mobilfunknetze sowie ADSL, Internet über Kabel, Gigabit-Ethernet, MPLS und Peer-to-Peer-Netze. Insbesondere enthält diese aktuelle Auflage neue Themen wie 3G-Mobilfunknetze, FttH (Fiber to the Home), RFID, verzögerungstolerante Netze und IEEE-802.11-Sicherheit. Darüber hinaus ist der Lehrstoff zu den Themen Internet-Routing, Multicasting, Überlastungsüberwachung, Dienstgüte, Echtzeitübertragung und Verteilen von Inhalten erweitert worden. Die Autoren Andrew Tanenbaum und David Wetherall beschreiben das Innenleben von Netzen und untersuchen deren Funktionalität, angefangen bei der zugrunde liegenden Hardware bis hin zu ihren Anwendungen. Dieses Buch analysiert und beschreibt die mit jeder Schicht verbundenen Prinzipien und veranschaulicht diese dann durch Beispiele aus der Welt des Internets und der drahtlosen Netze. Für jeden Studenten und Anwender das wohl wichtigste Buch zum Thema Computernetzwerke.
