Next: Implementation Up: Process Resumption and Previous: Process Resumption and

Semantics

A process may suspend itself or another process may suspend it.

A process to be suspended should be in the ready or current state.

Suspended processes go into the suspended state.

A process can be resumed only if it is in the suspended state.

A resumed process goes to the ready state (why not to the current state?)

Look at transition diagram in figure 5.1 in the text book.
