Microkernel Architecture Design and Implementation - Definitive Reference for Developers and Engineers

Richard Johnson

Maison d'édition: HiTeX Press

Synopsis

"Microkernel Architecture Design and Implementation""Microkernel Architecture Design and Implementation" provides a comprehensive, state-of-the-art exploration of the principles, design patterns, and real-world deployments of microkernel operating systems. Beginning with an authoritative introduction to the evolution of kernel architecture, the book traces the shift from monolithic to microkernel paradigms, unpacks the nuances that define microkernels, and evaluates their relative strengths across performance, security, and extensibility. Readers are guided through detailed comparisons, influential systems such as Mach and seL4, and diverse use cases ranging from embedded and real-time environments to high-assurance, security-critical domains.Building on this solid foundation, the book delves deeply into both foundational and advanced design concepts, including process isolation, minimal trusted computing bases, and capability-based security architectures. Clear explanations of core mechanisms—such as inter-process communication, scheduling models, driver architecture, and fault containment—are complemented by practical discussions of system resource management, user-level service structuring, and hot-swappable system components. Throughout, an emphasis on robustness and verification shines, with thorough coverage of formal specification, automated model checking, and lessons from historical vulnerabilities.Rounding out its technical depth, the volume addresses performance engineering, scalability for manycore and NUMA architectures, and adaptation to cloud, edge, and IoT environments. With rich case studies, the book exemplifies the practical benefits and deployment strategies for microkernel systems in distributed and virtualized infrastructures. Concluding with research frontiers in composability, language-based extensions, AI integration, and formal synthesis, "Microkernel Architecture Design and Implementation" is an indispensable resource for engineers, architects, and researchers committed to building the next generation of high-assurance operating systems.

Unwired - Gaining Control over...

Gaia Bernstein

Our society has a technology problem. Many want to disconnect from screens but can't help themselves. These days we spend more time online than ever. Some turn to self-help measures to limit their usage, yet repeatedly fail, while parents feel particularly powerless to help their children. Unwired: Gaining Control over Addictive Technologies shows us a way out. Rather than blaming users, the book shatters the illusion that we autonomously choose how to spend our time online. It shifts the moral responsibility and accountability for solutions to corporations. Drawing lessons from the tobacco and food industries, the book demonstrates why government regulation is necessary to curb technology addiction. It describes a grassroots movement already in action across courts and legislative halls. Groundbreaking and urgent, Unwired provides a blueprint to develop this movement for change, to one that will allow us to finally gain control.

Invent Now - The Next Leap in...

PhD Salima Bhimani

Decoding how moonshots are built and who gets to build them 
Moonshots shape the future―self-driving cars, space exploration, AI at planetary scale, and beyond. The ambition has been extraordinary. But what if we haven’t been ambitious enough? 
In Invent Now: The Next Leap in Moonshots, Dr. Salima Bhimani―former Chief Strategist for Alphabet's portfolio of Other Bets―reveals how the most transformative moonshots begin as hidden opportunities inside stalled systems, misaligned markets, and overlooked economic terrains. 
Drawing on her experience with companies such as Waymo, Wing, Google X, and DeepMind, Bhimani introduces the Third Space: a new operating lens for building moonshots capable of reshaping industries, activating new markets, and unlocking cascading value at every scale. 
Through personal stories and lessons the book reveals practices for bold experimentation and unlocking unprecedented solutions to emerging global needs and opportunities. Along the way, listeners are invited to wrestle with how moonshots come into being―and to step into the Moonshot Dojo, a space where practice begins.

The Progress Illusion -...

Jon D. Erickson

In The Progress Illusion, Jon D. Erickson charts the rise of the economic worldview and its infiltration into our daily lives as a theory of everything. Drawing on his own experience as a young economist inoculated in the 1980s era of "greed is good," Erickson shows how pseudoscience came to dominate economic thought. He pokes holes in the conventional wisdom of neo-classical economics, illustrating how flawed theories about financial decision-making and maximizing efficiency ignore human psychology and morality. Most importantly, he demonstrates how that thinking shaped our politics and determined the course of American public policy. The result has been a system that perpetually concentrates wealth in the hands of a few, while depleting the natural resources on which economies are based. 
 
 
 
While the history of economics is dismal indeed, Erickson is part of a vigorous reform effort grounded in the realities of life on a finite planet. This new brand of economics is both gaining steam in academia and supporting social activism. The goal is people over profit, community over consumption, and resilience over recklessness. Erickson shows crafting a new economic story is the first step toward turning away from endless growth and towards enduring prosperity.

The Ward - The Life and Loss of...

John Lorinc, Michael McClelland,...

The story of the growth and destruction of Toronto's first 'priority neighbourhood.'
   
From the 1840s until the Second World War, waves of newcomers who migrated to Toronto – Irish, Jewish, Italian, African American and Chinese, among others – landed in 'The Ward.' Crammed with rundown housing and immigrant-owned businesses, this area, bordered by College and Queen, University and Yonge streets, was home to bootleggers, Chinese bachelors, workers from the nearby Eaton';s garment factories and hard-working peddlers. But the City considered it a slum, and bulldozed the area in the late 1950s to make way for a new civic square.
   
The Ward finally tells the diverse stories of this extraordinary and resilient neighbourhood through archival photos and contributions from a wide array of voices, including historians, politicians, architects, story-tellers, journalists and descendants of Ward residents. Their perspectives on playgrounds, tuberculosis, sex workers, newsies and even bathing bring The Ward to life and, in the process, raise important questions about how contemporary cities handle immigration, poverty and the geography of difference.
   
‘The Ward shines a light on one of Toronto's most historically significant and most forgotten neighbourhoods. Instead of a straight history, the book's editors opted to present the Ward through multiple short essays, each with its own unique point of view. The result is a fascinating and varied look at an area that once concurrently defined the city and acted as its biggest shame. As a result of the Ward's eventual razing, there are few artifacts left to teach newer generations about this important part of Toronto's history. This book helps correct that.’
