Lecture notes
I will add Lecture notes to these
web pages as I go along.
There are three books you might look at for this; the prices are
from O'Mahony's campus branch:
- Operating Systems Design and Implementation
by Andrew Tannenbaum and Albert Woodhull
(ISBN 0-136-30195-9, Prentice Hall, 1997, Euro 68.95)
- The most detailed, listing a complete operating system and
going through it, as well as presenting all the concepts.
- Operating Systems
by John O'Gorman
(ISBN 0-333-80288-8, Palgrave 2000, Euro 32.00)
- Written by my predecessor in lecturing this course. This is not
as detailed as Tannenbaum.
- Operating Systems with Linux
by John O'Gorman
(ISBN 0-333-94745-2, Palgrave 2001, Euro 38.00)
- This is somewhere between the other two. It doesn't include a
source listing, but does give examples from a specific system
that you can download.
