Abstract:

        Study the Mach Operating System in detail.  This seminar will provide
        an overview of the Mach architecture, philosophy, and vision, and will
        continue with a thorough study of its three major subsystems:  
        task/thread management, virtual memory management, and inter-task
        communications.  Also discussed will be the Mach Inteface Generator,
        Network Message Server, and Network Memory Server.  A sketch of
        future developments will conclude the seminar.

Biography:

        Nawaf Bitar was a research fellow at the Open Software Foundation,
        Cambridge, MA, where he was part of the Carnegie-Mellon University
        OSF Team developing OSF/2 on a Mach 3-based system. Nawaf has since
        returned to the Apollo Systems Division of the Hewlett-Packard Co,
        where he is involved with operating systems projects.
General Information:

The GBC/acm is the local Boston chapter of the Association for
Computing Machinery, a non-profit scientific & educational association.
The GBC/acm PDS committee presents three Professional Development Seminars
each Spring and Fall.  The current site is Northeastern University,
which can be reached by I-90, I-93, Route 3, Route 2, and the MBTA Orange 
and Green lines.  Free parking is available to those arriving on-time -- 
before the rest of Northeastern parks.

Continental Breakfast, Lunch, and two snacks are provided.
A copy of the speaker's slides and a selection of readings will be 
provided before the seminar begins. Registration is 8:30-9:00am. 
The seminar officially ends at 4:30. [I've rarely seen people kicked out
of informal Q&A before 5:00, however.]

FEES.  Included in the Seminar Fee are: seminar materials, lunch, and 
refreshments.  An additional $10 GBC/acm membership fee is charged to 
non-members.  (This fee is a one-time fee for any given year, as it is
one year's membership.)  Registrations processed on the day of the seminar
will be charged an additional $10 late registration fee.

CANCELLATION POLICY.  The full registration fee will be refunded if the
PDS Chairperson (Attn:Refund) receives written notification prior to the
registered seminar.  A verbal request will be honored in an emergency.

Further disclaimers are included in the printed newsletter, available at
better technical meetings and mailboxes accross New England, and by 
calling the answering machine.
