Since the eighth edition of this book was published, the field of operating systems has seen continuous innovations and improvements. In this new edition, I have tried to capture these changes while maintaining a comprehensive coverage of the entire field. To begin the process of revision, the eighth edition of this book was extensively reviewed by a number of professors who teach the subject and by professionals working in the field. The result is that, in many places, the narrative has been clarified and tightened, and illustrations have been improved.

Beyond these refinements to improve pedagogy and user friendliness, the technical content of the book has been updated throughout to reflect the ongoing changes in this exciting field, and the instructor and student support has been expanded. The most noteworthy changes are as follows:

• Updated Linux coverage: The Linux material has been updated and expanded to reflect changes in the Linux kernel since the eighth edition.

• Updated Android coverage: The Android material has been updated and expanded to reflect changes in the Android kernel since the eighth edition.

• New Virtualization coverage: The chapter on virtual machines has been completely rewritten to provide better organization and an expanded and more up-to-date treatment. In addition, a new section has been added on the use of containers.

• New Cloud operating systems: New to this edition is the coverage of cloud operating systems, including an overview of cloud computing, a discussion of the principles and requirements for a cloud operating system, and a discussion of a OpenStack, a popular open-source Cloud OS.

• New IoT operating systems: New to this edition is the coverage of operating systems for the Internet of Things. The coverage includes an overview of the IoT, a discussion of the principles and requirements for an IoT operating system, and a discussion of a RIOT, a popular open-source IoT OS.

• Updated and Expanded Embedded operating systems: This chapter has been substantially revised and expanded including:

  • The section on embedded systems has been expanded and now includes discussions of microcontrollers and deeply embedded systems.

  • The overview section on embedded OSs has been expanded and updated.

  • The treatment of embedded Linux has been expanded, and a new discussion of a popular embedded Linux system, Clinux, has been added.
