ABSTRACT
Carnegie-Mellon University (CMU) and International Business Machines (IBM) have recently decided to collaborate on an innovative project: to implement a distributed computing system at CMU. A distributed computing system integrates personal computers, midsized machines known as file servers, and mainframes through a network. This system will provide CMU's students, faculty and staff with state-of-the-art equipment and software, and will be designed to facilitate communication on campus. The authors describe the reasons that motivated the CMU-IBM project, the technology of this distributed system, and the impact they expect this system to have.

The computing skills workshop at Carnegie-Mellon University
Carnegie-Mellon University is now in the early stage of deploying an intensive and diverse computing environment for which it has been actively preparing since 1982. In that year it began a joint venture with IBM to develop a style of academic computing ...
Undergraduate embedded system education at Carnegie Mellon
Embedded systems encompass a wide range of applications, technologies, and disciplines, necessitating a broad approach to education. We describe embedded system coursework during the first 4 years of university education (the U.S. undergraduate level). ...
Optical Engineering Education at Carnegie-Mellon University
Although Carnegie-Mellon University (CMU) is a mediumsized, highly engineering-oriented school, it has achieved international stature in selected areas of optics education and research. This paper reviews the graduate education programs in optics at CMU,...
