Thank you for this comprehensive paper, Maarten. Great job. How did you find documentation about all these completely forgotten systems? In Paris-8 University library? After reading your chapter, I understand better some of my early experiences with operating systems (OS/360 MFT). Cheers! Le jeudi 31 janvier 2019 Maarten Bullynck a écrit ceci :
Dear All,
In my last message on the volume "Programming Systems: in Search of Historical and Philosophical Foundation" (Springer 2019) edited by Liesbeth de Mol and Giuseppe Primiero, I accidentally included a link to an old version of my paper that appears in that volume.
A draft version closer to the published one is now online: https://halshs.archives-ouvertes.fr/halshs-01541602 "What Is an Operating System? A Historical Investigation (1954–1964)"
best wishes,
Maarten
I have the pleasure to announce the publication of a volume on the history and philosophy of programming systems, edited by Liesbeth De Mol and Giuseppe Primiero.
https://www.springer.com/gp/book/9783319972251
The volume collects contributions to the third HaPoP symposium in Paris (http://hapoc.org/events/hapop3/schedule). Freely accessible drafts of the introduction and of the chapter I authored can be found on HAL (see links in the table of contents.)
