History of general-purpose operating systems • 1950's: signup sheets • 1960's: batch operating systems – operators running batches of jobs – OS/360 (IBM) • 1970's: time-sharing – simultaneous access for multiple users – Unix (Bell Labs; Ken Thompson & Dennis Ritchie) • 1980's: personal computers, single user systems
Distributed computing: global processing? – Java: the network is From a user's point of view, the operating system is there to execute programs: – on batch ( many operating systems do not allow a child to continue if its parent terminates)
