"Operating systems are an essential part of a computer system. Similarly, a course on operating systems is an essential part of a computer science education. This book is intended as a text for an introductory course in operating systems at the junior, senior of first-year graduate level. It provides a clear description of the concepts which underlie operating systems.

This book is not centered around any particular operating system or hardware. Instead, it discusses fundamental concepts which are applicable to a variety of systems. The authors' emphasis is on solving the problems encountered in designing an operating system, regardless of the underlying hardware on which the system will run."
