 Butler Lampson
Butler W. Lampson is considered to be one of the great computer scientists in the history of computing.
His now-famous vision of a personal computer was captured in the 1972 memo entitled "Why Alto?" In 1973, the Xerox Alto, with its two-button mouse and full page sized-monitor, was born and is considered to be the first actual personal computer in terms of how it was meant to be used.
Lampson helped work on revolutionary technologies such as the Alto personal distributed computing system, laser printer design, two-phase commit protocols, the first local area network (LAN) to use Ethernet, and several programming languages.

For example, suppose that a principal named FRED has an office O in a particular wing W of a particular floor F of a particular building B in a particular city C of a particular state S. Several hints could be stored with FRED's name in the global naming service as illustrated in FIG.
The system resource Ws only accepts requests from W2 on behalf of the user P if the requests are signed by the new delegation key W2delS.
Thus, when a user U, makes a request through a workstation W, the workstation makes a request to a system resource (e.g., a server) as U ON W. This request is allowed by the user delegating to the workstation authority to make requests in the form of "U ON W says S".

====================================================================== Hints for Computer System Design Butler W. Lampson Overall Summary: In this paper, Lampson collected many good and useful hints for system design, organized his hints with good catergories, and he illustrated his hints clearly with large range of interesting examples.
Deficiency in this paper: Since Lampson tried to introduce as many useful hints as possible in the paper, this paper looks a little bit massy.
Even though, he tried to make it clear by organizing the hints in different catergories, the result is still not very satisifying, since some of hints are not quite fit into the catergories.
