About this document
Process Concepts in Operating Systems by Maha Ibrahim is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Processes are instances of programs that are currently executing. Each process is represented in the operating system by a process control block that contains information like the process state, program counter, scheduling information, and more. Processes can exist in various states like running, ready, waiting, and terminated. The CPU switches between processes using context switches. Process scheduling and interprocess communication allow multiple processes to run and cooperate on a system.
