This book presents the nature and characteristics of modern-day operating systems clearly and completely, and serves as both a basic reference and an up-to-date survey of the state of the art.
Abstract
Serving as both a basic reference and an up-to-date survey of the state of the art, this book covers the concepts, structure, and mechanisms of operating systems. Stallings presents the nature and characteristics of modern-day operating systems clearly and completely. Updated treatment of Windows as a case study to cover Windows Vista. Online animations with references incorporated throughout. A new chapter on Embedded Operating Systems. Part Six (Distributed Systems and Security) moved online, reducing the cost and size of the book without loss of content. Expanded coverage of security. New figures added, with many existing figures updated to enhance clarity. A useful reference for programmers, systems engineers, network designers and others involved in the design of computer products, information system and computer system personnel.

Open Source Software for Train Control Applications and its Architectural Implications

TL;DR: The development of a graphical domain-specific language for modelling parts of the European Train Control System (ETCS) is presented, which is based on specialised data, control flow formalisms, and language elements derived from the specification document.

Software environment for cluster computing

TL;DR: General issues with cluster SW tools are discussed, used in design, optimization and debugging of parallel programs and some of them in detail are discussed.

Transparent Communication Within Multiplicities

TL;DR: This paper introduces a paradigm whereby data points and variable parameters can be strategically mapped or bound using aliases, data types and scoping as an alternative to flat address-structured mapping.

Improving the accuracy and the efficiency of geo-processing through a combinative geo-computation approach

Z Cao
TL;DR: This thesis describes the development and implementation of a novel geo-processing approach, namely Combinative Geoprocessing (CG), which is used to address data processing problems in GIS and identifies a new research direction for GIS computations and GIS software development, such as how a robust geo- processing tool with higher performance could be created using the CG approach.
