We lost Per Brinch Hansen, a computer scientist, on this day in 2007.
He specialised in operating systems and concurrent programming, and
wrote the classic book "Operating System Principles" which was published
in six languages for decades. He also wrote another book "The
Architecture of Concurrent Programs" which demonstrated an entire
operating system written in Concurrent Pascal (much like the Lions'
books on Unix).
His anthology "Classic Operating Systems" is also an informative read
and I think can be found online.
