Andrew S. Tanenbaum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Andrew Stuart "Andy" Tanenbaum (born 1944) is a professor of Computer Science at Vrije Universiteit, Amsterdam in the Netherlands. Tanenbaum started a famous, inflammatory Usenet discussion with Torvalds [2] about the microkernel, but Linus and Andrew appear to be on good speaking terms; Linus wants it understood that he holds no animosity towards Tanenbaum. Tanenbaum, a Democrat, revealed his identity on November 1, 2004, the day prior to the election, also stating his reasons and qualifications for running the website [3]. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Andrew_Tanenbaum   (412 words)

Minix - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Andrew S. Tanenbaum wrote the operating system to be used for educational purposes; Minix also inspired the creation of Linux. Andrew Tanenbaum created Minix at Vrije Universiteit in Amsterdam to exemplify the principles conveyed in his textbook, Operating Systems: Design and Implementation (1987). Although Tanenbaum wished for Minix to be as accessible as possible to students, his publisher was not prepared to offer material (such as the source code) that could be copied freely, so a restrictive license requiring a nominal fee (included in the price of Tanenbaum's book) was applied as a compromise. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Minix   (568 words)

Structured Computer Organization (4th Edition) (Andrew S. Tanenbaum) Andrew Tanenbaum might be the best there is when it comes to the study of computers but, unless you're a "thorough geek," you'd wish other technical writers would step into the fore. Tanenbaum's book is that he likes to use abstract algebra to deliver his example. Tanenbaum's books all use the same single technique to help students remember important ideas: bold letters. www.interference.com /webstore/us/product/0130959901.htm   (543 words)

Andrew Tanenbaum Andrew S. Tanenbaum has a B.S. Degree from M.I.T. and a Ph.D. from the University of California at Berkeley. Tanenbaum is a Fellow of the ACM, a Fellow of the IEEE, a member of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences, winner of the 1994 ACM Karl V. Karlstrom Outstanding Educator Award, and winner of the 1997 ACM/SIGCSE Award for Outstanding Contributions to Computer Science Education. Tanenbaum has also produced a considerable volume of software. www.informit.com /authors/bio.asp?a=c2266b4b-ec26-469c-b8e1-1e9f4e081576   (288 words)

Computer Networks (Andrew Tanenbaum) - book review Tanenbaum's Computer Networks is a good, solid introductory textbook on networking suitable for those with a computing background, either university students or computer professionals. Computer Networks is still one of the best general texts on networking I know of, however, and it deserves to survive to a third edition, in which Tanenbaum will hopefully bring it more into line with reality in this regard. Such a view of the world must have seemed rather problematic in 1989, and now seems almost ludicrous (at least in Australia; perhaps things are different in Europe). dannyreviews.com /h/Computer_Networks.html   (266 words)

Amazon.com: Books: Computer Networks Tanenbaum is not cursory in his treatment of history, but he is not pedantic either. Previous reviews have mentioned Tanenbaum's excellent and concise writing style and the breadth of the material covered, which are two of the good qualities that made this book a classic. Tanenbaum gives a superlative effort in maintaining the vernacular wherever possible, with concomitant supportive graphics to further enhance delivery and understanding. www.amazon.com /exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0133499456?v=glance   (1716 words)

BBC - h2g2 - Never underestimate the bandwidth of a station wagon full of quarter-inch tapes This prompted someone, probably Andrew Tanenbaum as he's well known for his wit, to make the observation that a station wagon has a lot of bandwidth. There's an often cited quote, usually expressed as "Never underestimate the bandwidth of a station wagon full of tape" (somtimes as "Never underestimate the bandwidth of a station wagon full of tapes hurtling down the highway") that's attributed to Andrew Tanenbaum although sometimes to a Warren Jackson (Director, Computer Science University of Toronto). (It's been said the quote appears in Andrew Tanenbaum's book Computer Networks, Editions 1-3 from Prentice-Hall, 1988.) www.bbc.co.uk /dna/h2g2/A678576   (434 words)

LWN: A followup from Andrew Tanenbaum Tanenbaum thought it best to remove it so as to be consistent with his statement that "it is unethical to discuss publications still under embargo." I think there are two very fair words to use to descibe Tanenbaum's behaviour around this issue - he's obviously, and proudly, both a gentleman and a scholar. Tanenbaum has a copy of the book already. lwn.net /Articles/86312   (957 words)

Andrew S. Tanenbaum : Computer Networks The emphasis is theoretical - but in a very practical sense: Tanenbaum explains the major principles which any competent network engineer must rely on for implementation and configuration. Tanenbaum has prepared an excellent meal - just don't expect him to spoonfeed you as well. The book presents general issues and impacts (on technology as well on the society) of Computer Networks in the first chapter, and then move in a detailed exposition of the lower layers of a general network architecture (similar to the OSI one). books.mysic.ca /0130661023++Computer+Networks   (1202 words)

Appendix A - The Tanenbaum-Torvalds Debate Andrew Tanenbaum is a well-respected researcher who has made a very good living thinking about operating systems and OS design. Although Andrew Tanenbaum has been derided for his heavy hand and misjudgements of the Linux kernel, such a reaction to Tanenbaum is unfair. Tanenbaum that a micro-kernel _is_ the way to go, but the more I look at the Minix source, the less I believe that it is a micro-kernel. www.oreilly.com /catalog/opensources/book/appa.html   (13146 words)

Proudly Serving My Corporate Masters: The Votemaster is Andrew Tanenbaum This morning the "Votemaster", the brains behind the popular (and leftward-leaning, although scrupulously fair in its numbers) Electoral Vote Predictor website, revealed that his true identity was Andrew Tanenbaum, noted computer scientist, author, and programmer. I used Tanenbaum's Operating Systems book in a class in college, and I have been following the EV Predictor site daily. This is one of those strange moments when two paths intersect completely unexpectedly. www.proudlyserving.com /archives/2004/11/the_votemaster.html   (237 words)
