Operating Systems An introduction to Unix, and Operating Systems Theory
The notes by Hugh Murrell provide a starting point in UNIX and operating system theory. Key topics include: UNIX file systems, networking, and process synchronisation. Inter-process communication under UNIX; including deadlock scenarios and concepts of virtual memory and paging are also covered. A good resource to explain both UNIX-specific features, as well as general operating system principles.

Lecture Notes On Operating System by Sandeep
This paper highlights the major operating system concepts. It also covers essential functions, the history of OS, with particular services and an underlying computer system architecture. Major topics include Process Control Blocks, CPU Scheduling, Threads, further notes on Inter-process Communication, and several synchronization mechanisms, such as Peterson's solution, Synchronization Hardware, Semaphores. Besides these, it addresses highly complex issues such as the Readers-Writers Problem, including descriptions of both abstract and concrete solutions used for concurrent resource management.

Operating Systems Three Easy Pieces
Authored by Remzi H. Arpaci-Dusseau and Andrea C. Arpaci-Dusseau, the book provides a full overview of operating systems. It begins with virtualization and the basic process/needs and scheduling then transitions into memory virtualization and management that includes paging and segmentation. The book looks at concurrency-including locks, condition variables, and semaphores. Other areas included are I/O devices, RAID configurations, file system implementation, crash consistency, and distributed systems. This is a comprehensive book ideal for anyone looking for essential knowledge as well as advanced information on operating systems.

Operating Systems Lecture Notes by Stanford University
Lecture notes from Stanford University-cover a wide spectrum of systems concepts- including threads and processes, concurrency, and synchronization. The course also discusses several scheduling methods, virtual memory, I/O, disk management and file systems, network file systems, and security. Emphasis is placed both on fundamental theories and leading-edge topics in operating systems. This can be really useful when one wants to gain a good grasp of the principles of classical and modern operating systems.

Lecture Notes on Operating Systems by Marvin Solomon
Marvin Solomon's study notes outline the main topics of an operating system, which include discussion on Java-related matters, processes, synchronization, and memory management. Added to this is information about disk management, file systems, and protection and security. This is a small brief report with references in seeking knowledge for the essence of how an operating system should be managed and work.

Operating Systems and Middleware Supporting Controlled Interaction
The book of Max Hailperin exposes interaction in operating systems and middleware, but with controlled support mechanisms. It entails threads, scheduling, synchronization, deadlocks, and atomic transactions. It also has virtual memory, process protection, persistent storage, networking, and security. In this regard, it gives insights into both layers of operating systems and additional software layers, showing a holistic view of controlled interactions within computing systems.
