Formal Models of Operating System Kernels

It is very easy to get bogged down in complexity issues when considering kernels, but this bookïs prescriptive rather than descriptive approach shows how the kernel of an operating system can affect both the reliability and security that is demanded of them today. A considerable amount of reasoning is included, showing what can be inferred about a design, and in addition, essential properties of the design - thus
