Formal Models of Operating System Kernels

Buy
The work that this book represents is something I have wanted to do since 1979. While in Ireland, probably in 2001, I sketched some parts of a small operating system specification in Z but left it because of other duties. In 2002, I worked on the sketches again but was interrupted. Finally, in April, 2005, I decided to devote some time to it and produced what amounted toa first version of the kernel to be found in Chapter 3 of this book. I even produced a few proofs, just to show that I was not on a completely insane tack.

I decided to suggest the material as the subject of a book to Beverley Ford. The material was sent on a Thursday (I think). The following Monday, I received an email from her saying that it had gone out for review. The review process took less than 2 weeks; the response was as surprising as it was encouraging: a definite acceptance. So I got on with it.

This book is intended as a new way to approach operating systems design in general, and kernel design in particular. It was partly driven by the old ambition mentioned above, by the need for greater clarity where it comes to kernels and by the need, as I see it, for a better foundation for operating systems design. Security aspects, too, played a part—as noted in the introductory chapter, if a system’s kernel is insecure or unreliable, it will undermine attempts to construct secure software on top of it. Security does not otherwise play a part in this book.

Lossless Compression Handbook (Communications, Networking and Multimedia)
Lossless Compression Handbook (Communications, Networking and Multimedia)
Compression schemes can be divided into two major classes: lossless compression schemes and lossy compression schemes. Data compressed using lossless compression schemes can be recovered exactly, while lossy compression introduces some loss of information in the reconstruction.

While the first modern compression scheme, Huffman coding,
