The book Operating System is an insightful work that elaborates on fundamentals as well as advanced topics of the discipline. Keeping the needs of the students in mind, this book offers an in-depth coverage of concepts, design and functions of an operating system irrespective of the hardware used. With neat illustrations and examples and presentation of difficult concepts in the simplest form, the aim is to make the subject crystal clear to the students, and the book extremely student-friendly. The book caters to undergraduate students of most Indian universities, who would find the introductory and advanced discussions highly informative and enriching. Tailored as a guide for self-paced learning the book equips budding system programmers with the right knowledge and expertise. The topics covered include: Organization of the computer system; communication between processes; threads and multithreading models; scheduling criteria and algorithms; synchronization among cooperating processes; deadlock situation; memory management; virtual memory; I/O system; disk scheduling algorithms, disk management, swap-space management and RAID; file types, attributes and access methods; managing files, directories and disc space; security and protection in computers; UNIX and Linux operating systems; implementation of various OS concepts in Windows 2000; multiprocessor and distributed systems.

The book enumerates the concepts related to C programming language. The best way to learn any programming language is through examples. The book uses the same approach - each concept is followed by an appropriate example to understand the implementation of the learned concepts. The book begins with the basic components of a computer and their functions, concepts of hardware and software, types of software, compilers, interpreter, linkers and loaders, programming languages, flowcharts and algorithms. The book explains C program structure, data types, constants, variables, expressions, operators, I/O functions and control structures. It teaches you how to use arrays, strings, functions, pointers, files, structures, dynamic memory allocation, storage classes and command line arguments. It also explains the searching and sorting algorithms. Questions and answers at the end of each chapter help readers to revise the essential concepts covered in the chapter.

Lists citations with abstracts for aerospace related reports obtained from world wide sources and announces documents that have recently been entered into the NASA Scientific and Technical Information Database.

Computer Programming and Utilization aims to providing an in-depth knowledge of the fundamentals of computers and programming. Examples, suitable diagrams and tables make the book extremely student-friendly. The discussion on both, introductory and advanced topics of C and C++ make this a comprehensive study on the subject.

For more than 40 years, Computerworld has been the leading source of technology news and information for IT influencers worldwide. Computerworld's award-winning Web site (Computerworld.com), twice-monthly publication, focused conference series and custom research form the hub of the world's largest global IT media network.

This book provides comprehensive introduction to a consortium of technologies underlying soft computing, an evolving branch of computational intelligence. The constituent technologies discussed comprise neural networks, fuzzy logic, genetic algorithms, and a number of hybrid systems which include classes such as neuro-fuzzy, fuzzy-genetic, and neuro-genetic systems. The hybridization of the technologies is demonstrated on architectures such as Fuzzy-Back-propagation Networks (NN-FL), Simplified Fuzzy ARTMAP (NN-FL), and Fuzzy Associative Memories. The book also gives an exhaustive discussion of FL-GA hybridization. Every architecture has been discussed in detail through illustrative examples and applications. The algorithms have been presented in pseudo-code with a step-by-step illustration of the same in problems. The applications, demonstrative of the potential of the architectures, have been chosen from diverse disciplines of science and engineering. This book with a wealth of information that is clearly presented and illustrated by many examples and applications is designed for use as a text for courses in soft computing at both the senior undergraduate and first-year post-graduate engineering levels. It should also be of interest to researchers and technologists desirous of applying soft computing technologies to their respective fields of work.

Beginning with the basics of computers, the book provides an in-depth analysis of various constructs of C. The key topics include iterative and decision-control statements, functions, recursion, arrays, strings, pointers, structures and unions, and file management. It deals separately with thefundamental concepts of linked lists - the preferred data structure for dynamic allocation of memory. The book also includes a chapter on different searching and sorting algorithms and analysis of time and space complexity of algorithms.
