Modern platforms have turned away from the traditional user-based permission model and begun adopting application permission systems in an attempt to shield users from these threats. This dissertation evaluates modern permission systems with the goal of improving the security of future platforms. -
An Interview With
An Interview with WARREN PRINCE OH 413 Conducted by Jeffrey R. Yost on 4 April 2012 Computer Services Project Sunnyvale, California Charles Babbage Institute Center for the History of Information Technology University of Minnesota, Minneapolis Copyright, Charles Babbage Institute Warren Prince Interview 4 April 2012 Oral History 413 Abstract Warren Prince was an executive at Tymshare and served as the leader of TYMNET. He served on the management team at McDonnell Douglas after it acquired TYMNET. The interview concentrates on TYMNET’s history and explaining and providing context to some of the documents he provided for the interview. 2 Prince: So will you produce the chapter in your book out of audio? I’ve got a bunch of papers that might be of interest or might not. Yost: Terrific, I would. Prince: Because it kind of shows; first, on the TYMNET side it shows the growth of it and really, the initial problems of it, which graphically shows it instead of saying it. And then the McDonnell Douglas part. Anyway, we can get into that when the time comes. Yost: Sounds good. My name is Jeffrey Yost, from the Charles Babbage Institute at the University of Minnesota, and I’m here today on April 4th, 2012, with Warren Prince of Tymshare and TYMNET. I’d like to begin just with some brief biographical stuff. Could you tell me where you were born, where you grew up? Prince: Born in Walnut Creek, California but grew up mostly in Arizona; Glendale, Arizona. And went through; started at the University of Arizona, and then joined the Army. -

Multics Documentation Page 4 Program MARQDCLAG By Walter L. Anderson INTRODUCTION Program MARQDCLAG is a general-purpose program for the least squares inversion of direct-current (DC) Schlumberger sounding data obtained over one-dimensional horizontally stratified earth models. A modified Marquardt (1963) nonlinear least squares algorithm (MARQRT) is used for inversion of Schlumberger soundings. A digital filter developed by Anderson (1975) is employed, along with a fast lagged-convolution adaptive algorithm (RLAGH1), to efficiently and accurately evaluate the necessary Hankel transform integrals for a Schlumberger array configuration (see for example, Zohdy, 1975, p. -

This began with point-to-point communication between mainframe computers and terminals, expanded to point-to-point connections between computers and then early research into packet switching. Packet switched networks such as ARPANET, Mark I at NPL in the UK, CYCLADES, Merit Network, Tymnet, and Telenet, were developed in the late 1960s and early 1970s using a variety of protocols. The ARPANET in particular led to the development of protocols for internetworking, where multiple separate networks could be joined together into a network of networks. In 1982 the Internet Protocol Suite (TCP/IP) was standardized and the concept of a world-wide network of fully interconnected TCP/IP networks called the Internet was introduced. -
Sperry Rand's Third-Generation Computers 1964–1980
Sperry Rand’s Third-Generation Computers 1964–1980 George T. Gray and Ronald Q. Smith The change from transistors to integrated circuits in the mid-1960s marked the beginning of third-generation computers. A late entrant (1962) in the general-purpose, transistor computer market, Sperry Rand Corporation moved quickly to produce computers using ICs. The Univac 1108’s success (1965) reversed the company’s declining fortunes in the large-scale arena, while the 9000 series upheld its market share in smaller computers. Sperry Rand failed to develop a successful minicomputer and, faced with IBM’s dominant market position by the end of the 1970s, struggled to maintain its position in the computer industry. A latecomer to the general-purpose, transistor would be suitable for all types of processing. computer market, Sperry Rand first shipped its With its top management having accepted the large-scale Univac 1107 and Univac III comput- recommendation, IBM began work on the ers to customers in the second half of 1962, System/360, so named because of the intention more than two years later than such key com- to cover the full range of computing tasks. petitors as IBM and Control Data.
