Modern Operating Systems

Autor Andrew S. Tanenbaum, Herbert Bos
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 19 mar 2014

Adresat studenților de la informatică și inginerie electrică, dar și arhitecților de sistem sau profesioniștilor IT, Modern Operating Systems reprezintă un standard academic riguros pentru înțelegerea arhitecturii software de bază. Notăm cu interes modul în care Andrew S. Tanenbaum și Herbert Bos reușesc să echilibreze conceptele teoretice fundamentale cu evoluțiile tehnologice recente. Această a patra ediție, publicată de Pearson, rafinează structura care a consacrat volumul, punând accent pe detalii practice legate de procese, fire de execuție (threads), gestiunea memoriei și securitatea sistemelor de fișiere.

Descoperim aici o abordare tehnică ce nu se rezumă doar la descrierea funcționalităților, ci explorează compromisurile de performanță (performance tradeoffs) și designul interfețelor. Dacă Operating System Concepts de Abraham Silberschatz v-a oferit cadrul teoretic și conceptele abstracte ale funcționării sistemelor, această carte oferă instrumentele practice și detaliile de implementare necesare unui inginer. Apreciem în mod deosebit includerea experimentelor de laborator și a exercițiilor de simulare, elemente esențiale pentru transformarea teoriei în competențe tehnice aplicabile.

În contextul operei autorului, lucrarea se poziționează ca o evoluție naturală a textului clasic Operating Systems Design and Implementation. În timp ce volumul menționat se concentra masiv pe studiul aplicat al MINIX, Modern Operating Systems extinde perspectiva asupra peisajului tehnologic actual, menținând totodată rigoarea analitică a lui Tanenbaum. Stilul de scriere este direct și pragmatic, transformând cele peste 1100 de pagini într-o resursă de referință pentru oricine dorește să înțeleagă ce se întâmplă „sub capota” calculatoarelor moderne.

De ce să citești această carte

Recomandăm această carte inginerilor și studenților care doresc să stăpânească mecanismele interne ale sistemelor de operare. Veți câștiga o înțelegere profundă a gestionării resurselor hardware și a securității software, beneficiind de expertiza unui cercetător de renume mondial. Este resursa ideală pentru a trece de la utilizarea unui sistem la proiectarea și optimizarea componentelor sale critice.


Despre autor

Andrew S. Tanenbaum este o figură emblematică în informatică, deținând un doctorat de la University of California, Berkeley, și fiind profesor la Vrije Universiteit din Amsterdam. Este recunoscut la nivel mondial ca fiind creatorul MINIX, un sistem de operare de tip Unix care a servit drept sursă de inspirație pentru Linux. Expertiza sa vastă în sisteme distribuite, rețele și arhitectura calculatoarelor este reflectată în numeroasele manuale de referință pe care le-a publicat, lucrări premiate pentru longevitatea și claritatea lor pedagogică în mediul academic internațional.


Notă biografică

Andrew S. Tanenbaum has an S.B. degree from M.I.T. and a Ph.D. from the University of California at Berkeley. He is currently a Professor of Computer Science at the Vrije Universiteit in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. He was formerly Dean of the Advanced School for Computing and Imaging, an interuniversity graduate school doing research on advanced parallel, distributed, and imaging systems. He was also an Academy Professor of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences, which has saved him from turning into a bureaucrat. He also won a prestigious European Research Council Advanced Grant. In the past, he has done research on compilers, operating systems, networking, local-area distributed systems and wide-area distributed systems that scale to a billion users. His main focus now is doing research on reliable and secure operating systems. These research projects have led to over 140 refereed papers in journals and conferences. Prof. Tanenbaum has also authored or co-authored five books. The books have been translated into languages, ranging from Basque to Thai and are used at universities all over the world. Prof. Tanenbaum has also produced a considerable volume of software, notably MINIX, a small UNIX clone. It was the direct inspiration for Linux and the platform on which Linux was initially developed. The current version of MINIX, called MINIX 3, is now focused on being an extremely reliable and secure operating system. Prof. Tanenbaum will consider his work done when no computer is equipped with a reset button. and no user has any idea what an operating system crash is. MINIX 3 is an on-going open-source project to which you are invited to contribute. Go to www.minix3.org to download a free copy and find out what is happening. Prof. Tanenbaum's Ph.D. students have gone on to greater glory after graduating. He is very proud of them. In this respect he resembles a mother hen. Tanenbaum is a Fellow of the ACM, a Fellow of the IEEE, and a member of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences. He has also won numerous scientific prizes from ACM, IEEE, and USENIX. If you are really curious about them, see his page on Wikipedia. He also has two honorary doctorates. Herbert Bos obtained his master degree from Twente University and his Ph.D. from Cambridge University Computer Laboratory in the UK. Since then, he has worked extensively on dependable and efficient I/O architectures for operating systems like Linux, but also research systems based on MINIX 3. He currently a professor in Systems and Network Security in the department of Computer Science at the Vrije Universiteit in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. His main research field is that of system security. With his students, he works on novel ways to detect and stop attacks, to analyze and reverse engineer malware, and to take down botnets (malicious infrastructures that may span millions of computers). In 2011, he obtained an ERC Starting Grant for his research on reverse engineering. Several of his students have won the Roger Needham Ph.D. Award for best Ph.D. thesis in systems in Europe.
