Description & Coverage
Description:

As any application running on a computer makes use of the operating system, the potential impact of improving areas such as memory management, process scheduling, file systems, and device drivers is tremendous.

Advanced Operating Systems and Kernel Applications: Techniques and Technologies discusses non-distributed operating systems that benefit researchers, academicians, and practitioners desiring to delve into this subject area and learn more on this important field of study. This innovative publication includes an overview of topical issues, methods, and advancements in the field of one-processor operating systems.

Coverage:

The many academic areas covered in this publication include, but are not limited to:

  • Device driver reliability
  • Efficiency of memory management
  • Efficient memory utilization
  • Exokernel operating system
  • Identifying systemic threats
  • Kernel security
  • Kernel stack overflows elimination
  • Management of kernel buffer cache
  • Page replacement algorithms
  • System thrashing
  • Temporal and spatial localities
Reviews & Statements

This book provides results that will be suitable to as many operating systems as possible. We believe this book will be a nice contribution to the community of operating system kernel developers.

Editor/Author Biographies
Yair Wiseman got his PhD from Bar-Ilan University and completed two Post-Doc - one at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and one in Georgia Institue of Technology. Dr. Wiseman is now with the Computer Science department of Bar-Ilan University. His research interests include process scheduling, hardware-software codesign, memory management, asymmetric operating systems and computer clusters.
Song Jiang recieved his PhD from the Department of Computer Science at the College of William and Mary. He is now an assistant professor at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Wayne State University. His research interests include operating system, file and storage system, fault tolerance in parallel systems, and distributed systems. The algorithms he designed on kernel memory management and storage system have been adopted in many mainstream systems, including Linux, NetBSD, and MySQL.
