The UNIX time-sharing system
UNIX is a general-purpose, multi-user, interactive operating system for the Digital Equipment Corporation PDP-11/40 and 11/45 computers. It offers a number of features seldom found even in larger operating systems, including: (1) a hierarchical file ...

Proceedings of the 12th SIGCSE symposium on Computer science educationThe “hands-on” laboratory approach to teaching operating systems has been used at West Virginia University since August 1971 [3, 6, 8]. In 1977 a Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) PDP-11/34 system replaced the IBM 1130 system previously used for the ...
