Computer Immunology: We dance for our computers. Every error, every problem that has to be diagnosed schedules us to do work on the system's behalf. Whether the root cause of the errors is faulty programming or simply a lack of foresight, human intervention is required in computing systems with a regularity which borders on the embarrassing. Operating system design is about the sharing of resources amongst a set of tasks; additional tasks need to be devoted to protecting and maintaining a computer with an immune system so that human intervention can be minimized.

Vassal: Loadable Scheduler Support for Multi-Policy Scheduling: This paper presents Vassal, a system that enables applications to dynamically load and unload CPU scheduling policies into the operating system kernel, allowing multiple policies to be in effect simultaneously. With Vassal, applications can utilize scheduling algorithms tailored to their specific needs and general-purpose operating systems can support a wide variety of special-purpose scheduling policies without implementing each of them as a permanent feature of the operating system.

NBC's GEnesis Broadcase Automation System: From Prototype to Product: GEnesis is a system in use at the NBC television network for automating the composition and distribution of video. It works in a mission critical environment; a system failure could potentially result in a substantial loss of revenue for the network. Tcl/Tk has been an integral part of the operator interface and data handling portions of the GEnesis system from the earliest stages of prototyping.
