4 | Historical Background | ||
5 | |||
6 | This edition of the Multics software materials and documentation is | ||
7 | provided and donated to Massachusetts Institute of Technology by Group | ||
8 | BULL including BULL HN Information Systems Inc. as a contribution to | ||
9 | computer science knowledge. This donation is made also to give evidence | ||
10 | of the common contributions of Massachusetts Institute of Technology, | ||
11 | Bell Laboratories, General Electric, Honeywell Information Systems | ||
12 | Inc., Honeywell BULL Inc., Groupe BULL and BULL HN Information Systems | ||
13 | Inc. to the development of this operating system. Multics development | ||
14 | was initiated by Massachusetts Institute of Technology Project MAC | ||
15 | (1963-1970), renamed the MIT Laboratory for Computer Science and | ||
16 | Artificial Intelligence in the mid 1970s, under the leadership of | ||
17 | Professor Fernando Jose Corbato. Users consider that Multics provided the | ||
18 | best software architecture for managing computer hardware properly and | ||
19 | for executing programs. Many subsequent operating systems incorporated | ||
20 | Multics principles. Multics was distributed in 1975 to 2000 by Group | ||
21 | Bull in Europe , and in the U.S. by Bull HN Information Systems Inc., as | ||
22 | successor in interest by change in name only to Honeywell Bull Inc. and | ||
23 | Honeywell Information Systems Inc. . | ||
