[ I've always posted these to TUHS with no objections, so I have no idea
whether COFF would be a better forum; feel free to spank me (I might
even enjoy it!) ]
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).
