At the early October Machnix conference in Burlington, the OSF presenters didn't have their papers available in time for publication in the proceedings. It was promised that the papers would be available "real soon now" and that availability would be broadcast on Usenet. Its been two months now, and I seem to have missed the announcment ;-). As an incentive, if someone will send me the particulars on the missing Machnix presentations, I will post an update to the mach bibliography covering the last year. The update covers only the period between October 1989 and the present, but has more entries than the whole previous bibliography! regards, fletcher Fletcher E.

Hi. There were two papers given by OSF engineers at the Mach workshop ("Zone Garbage Collection", by James Van Sciver, and "The Mach Timing Facility", by David Black); both are published in the proceedings of the conference. In addition, there was a "works in progress" session given by some other OSF engineers, including myself. We talked about the OSF/1 VM system, program loader, and Mach 3.0/microkernel work going on the research institute. Since this was a works in progress session, there aren't any formal papers to go with it. However, there are three OSF/1 papers in the upcoming (January) Usenix in Dallas: Program Loading in OSF/1 (Allen, Singh, Wallace, Weaver) The OSF/1 Unix File System (Loverso, Paciorek, Langerman) Processors, Priority, and Policy (Black) so stay tuned! -Larry Allen Open Software Foundation
