Formal Models of Operating System Kernels

Más información sobre el libro

Focusing on a fresh approach to operating systems and kernel design, this book emerges from a long-held ambition dating back to 1979. The author revisits earlier sketches and develops a comprehensive kernel in Chapter 3, supported by proofs to validate the design. The work emphasizes clarity in kernel design and the necessity for a solid foundation in operating systems. While security considerations are acknowledged, they do not dominate the content, allowing for a focused exploration of kernel architecture and its implications for software reliability.
