An experimental time-sharing system
Fernando Jose Corbató, Marjorie Merwin-Daggett, Robert C. Daley · 1962
It is the purpose of this paper to discuss briefly the need for time-sharing, some of the implementation problems, an experimental timesharing system which has been developed for the contemporary IBM 7090, and finally a scheduling algorithm of one of us (FJC) that illustrates some of the techniques which may be employed to enhance and be analyzed for the performance limits of such a time-sharing system.
