Workshop on operating systems and computer architecture

The purpose of the workshop, held January 18–19, 1973, — to bring together persons from the two rather disjoint disciplines of Computer Architecture and Design and Implementation of Operating Systems — was achieved. It is fair to say that no more than one-half of the (62) attendees were known to any other attendee prior to the workshop. This is most uncommon for a workshop environment which usually consists of a group of close professional associates getting together to discuss common problems. There was also a good balance between representatives of the academic and industrial spheres.
