Description
This text identifies, examines, and illustrates fundamental concepts in computer system design that are common across operating systems,
networks, database systems, distributed systems, programming languages, software engineering, security, fault tolerance, and architecture.
Through carefully analyzed case studies from each of these disciplines, it demonstrates how to apply these concepts to tackle practical
system design problems.
To support the focus on design, the text identifies and explains abstractions that have proven successful in
practice such as, remote procedure call, client/service organization, file systems, data integrity, consistency, and authenticated messages.
Most computer systems are built using a handful of such abstractions. The text describes how these abstractions are implemented, demonstrates
how they are used in different systems, and prepares the reader to apply them in future designs.
Audience
Junior and Senior undergraduate students in Operating Systems, Distributed Systems, Distributed Operating Systems and/or Computer Systems Design courses.
Professional computer systems designers.
