Operating System: Simply In Depth

Operating Systems are an important aspect of any computer system. Similarly, study of OS is an essential part of any computer-science education and of course for the B. Tech / MCA / M. Tech courses of several Universities. This study is intended as a text for an explanatory course of OS for Graduate and Post Graduate students of several universities across the world.

The book has been carefully designed so that a reader who is not familiar with details of computer architecture can start from the beginning, which provides a detailed overview of the Operating System. The next chapter provides a very lucid and comprehensive introduction to the functioning of OS from inside. I believe that this understanding is crucial for a better appreciation of this book. However, those familiar with computer architecture can skip these chapters and move on to the next chapter. For the rest of the book, no specific sequence is needed for reading, since the various topics covered are that independent in nature, and the reader can grasp them depending on how the course is designed or also depending on what he/she exactly wants to know.
