<br/><br/> "This alternate edition of the best-selling text in the field features early introduction of the concept of concurrent processes, a subject that students and professionals need to understand in order to do hands-on work with real operating systems. The alternate edition has been reorganized to meet the needs of students and instructors who wish to stress concurrency. Later chapters have been updated and revised as appropriate to take full advantage of the new organization.<br/><br/>'Operating System Concepts: Alternate Edition' retains the strong conceptual approach of earlier editions, illustrating fundamental operating system concepts with examples from a variety of systems. Numerous figures and improved exercises appear throughout the book, helping to provide the reader with a sound understanding of how operating systems work."
