Operating System Concepts with Java, Sixth Edition uses Java to illustrate fundamental operating system concepts. All of the Java code has been updated to Java 1.4. Complete Java programs are used to illustrate threads, interprocess communication (IPC), process and thread synchronization, deadlock, thread scheduling, and memory-mapped I/O. The client-server model is integrated throughout and additional coverage of distributed systems is provided. The rich networking features of Java, including sockets and remote method invocation (RMI), are used to demonstrate networking and client-server concepts. Finally, there are several examples of the most popular operating systems, such as Linux, Windows 2000/XP, Solaris, and Mac OS X.

Operating System Concepts with Java, Sixth Edition is the new edition of the book previously titled Applied Operating System Concepts by the same authors.
