    Operating Systems: Internals and Design Principles is a comprehensive and unified introduction to operating systems. By using several innovative tools, Stallings makes it possible to understand critical core concepts that can be fundamentally challenging. The new edition includes the implementation of web based animations to aid visual learners. At key points in the book, students are directed to view an animation and then are provided with assignments to alter the animation input and analyze the results.

     

    The concepts are then enhanced and supported by end-of-chapter case studies of UNIX, Linux and Windows Vista. These provide students with a solid understanding of the key mechanisms of modern operating systems and the types of design tradeoffs and decisions involved in OS design. Because they are embedded into the text as end of chapter material, students are able to apply them right at the point of discussion. This approach is equally useful as a basic reference and as an up-to-date survey of the state of the art.

    William Stallings has prepared a robust suite of student and instructor resources, including a rich set of Animations to illustrate key functions and algorithms in OS design.  (Icons are placed at relevant points in the text to indicate that an animation is available.) Access them via the Prentice Hall page www.prenhall.com/stallings  or directly at the author's website http://www.williamstallings.com/OS/OS6e.html under the link "Useful Websites."  Visit Stalllings Computer Science Student Resource page at http://williamstallings.com/StudentSupport.html.

    • For Database Systems and Database Design and Application courses offered at the junior, senior and graduate levels in Computer Science departments.

    Written by well-known computer scientists, this introduction to database systems offers a comprehensive approach, focusing on database design, database use, and implementation of database applications and database management systems.

    The first half of the book provides in-depth coverage of databases from the point of view of the database designer, user, and application programmer. It covers the latest database standards SQL:1999, SQL/PSM, SQL/CLI, JDBC, ODL, and XML, with broader coverage of SQL than most other texts. The second half of the book provides in-depth coverage of databases from the point of view of the DBMS implementor. It focuses on storage structures, query processing, and transaction management. The book covers the main techniques in these areas with broader coverage of query optimization than most other texts, along with advanced topics including multidimensional and bitmap indexes, distributed transactions, and information integration techniques.

    • For courses in Java–Introduction to Programming and Object-Oriented Programming.

     

    Daniel Liang teaches concepts of problem-solving and object-oriented programming using a fundamentals-first approach. Beginning programmers learn critical problem-solving techniques then move on to grasp the key concepts of object-oriented and GUI programming using Java 5.  Students start with the essential problem-solving and programming concepts (control statements, methods, and arrays), are then introduced to object-oriented programming, graphical user interface (GUI), and applets, and finally to exception handling, I/O,  data structures, and other advanced subjects. Liang uses small, simple, and stimulating examples to demonstrate concepts and techniques while longer examples are presented in case studies with overall discussions and thorough line-by-line explanations. Students can now write short, interesting, graphical game programs starting from Chapter 2! This text offers one of the broadest ranges of carefully chosen examples, reinforcing key concepts with objectives lists, introduction and chapter overviews, easy to follow examples, chapter summaries, review questions, programming exercises, interactive self-test. Students receive solutions to even-numbered programming exercises, source code for the examples in the book, online self assessment (w/over 1000 multiple-choice questions) and ONLINE homework through GRADIANCE, the industries most advanced online homework application. Instructors are offered the most extensive library of support materials available including interactive and animated slides, TestGen (w/over 2000 multiple-choice questions),  solutions to all programming exercises, sample exams and supplemental exercises.  Available in two versions, the Fundamentals First edition (chapters 1-19) and the Comprehensive version (chapters 1-36).
