SOSP History Day

At <http://www.ssrc.ucsc.edu/sosp15/workshops/HistoryDay/>:


Welcome to the SOSP History Day Workshop Website

Fifty years ago the first SOSP launched operating systems as a domain of
fundamental principles at the core of computer science. With ten speakers
and a panel we will celebrate the history of ideas that emerged over that
half century and the rich inheritance of ideas, concerns, and practices we
have received. Most of our speakers were active during most of these years
and will give us first-hand accounts. We will review ideas that have been
solidly at the core of operating systems the whole time.

We will learn about ideas that were once big and then fell out of play. We
will discover that many researchers in earlier times took up the same
issues that concern us today and have left a treasure-trove of work that
can help us. We will examine why cyber security, something we have studied
since the beginning, has eluded us and has become such a source of
suffering for so many people; dare we hope we can make it better?

The workshop will be held on Sunday, October 4, 2015 in Monterey,
California from 8:30am to 5:00pm.


 "SOSP" is "Symposium on Operating Systems Principles".  This workshop
looks amazing. Check out the presenters -- many luminaries from our history
all gathered in one place -- Jack Dennis, Lampson, Liskov, and more.  I am
honored to be included in the panel at the end of the workshop.

There should be plenty of time for audience questions and
discussion. Everything to be recorded and made public.


At <https://www.regonline.com/Register/Checkin.aspx?EventID=1238062> you
can register for all of SOSP including this workshop. For just History Day,
<http://www.ssrc.ucsc.edu/sosp15/registration.html> says "Workshop
registration is $250, and allows attendees to attend any workshop on
Sunday" though I do not see it on the form.
