[] M A C H W O R K S H O P October 4 - 5, 1990 Burlington, Vermont The USENIX Association is pleased to be offering its first workshop on the Mach operating system. As Mach becomes increasingly popular in both research and commercial environments, there are growing needs for up-to-date information and for those who are involved with the software to meet and talk. We hope that the variety of papers and formats below will address those needs. The workshop features a keynote speech by Dr. Richard Rashid of Carnegie- Mellon University, principal architect of the operating system, as well as special sessions on virtual memory, Mach as the basis for fault-tolerant systems, OS internals and performance, and environments and applications. There will also be a panel discussion of threads models, and a works-in- progress session for dissemination of information about the very latest Mach developments.
