The Open Software Foundation presents 1990 Technical Seminar Series
The Open Software Foundation invites you to participate
in our 1990 Technical Seminar Series, in-depth seminars on the
OSF/1 operating system and the OSF/Motif graphical user
interface. By taking advantage of these seminars, you
can stay abreast of new and emerging technology being developed by
OSF.
Whether you are a programmer, an independent software
vendor, or a strategic planner, these seminars
will help you increase your knowledge of the
open computing environment of the future.
The Open Software Foundation has made a major impact
on the open computing market since it was founded by eight major
computer vendors in May 1988. First with
the introduction of the award-winning OSF/Motif graphical user
interface, and now with the availability of snapshots--source
code and documentation for the OSF/1 operating system--
OSF helped shape the open systems environment for the 1990's.
OSF's 1990 Technical Seminar Series is devided into two tracks.
Track one provides a close look at the components of the
OSF/1 operating system. Integrating several advanced operating
system technologies, the OSF/1 offering is based on
the Mach kernel from Carnegie Mellon University. It provides
capability for symmetric multiprocessing and
for achieving a B1 level of security. The Track One
program provides an overview of the architecture and
features of the OSF/1 operating system, including its
compatibility with other UNIX-based systems as
well as special functions and benefits provided by
new technology.
Track Two covers the components of the OSF/Motif graphical user
interface and their behavior, and describes how to program OSF/Motif
applications using the OSF/Motif Toolkit and
User Interface Language. Instructors will
cover individual components of the OSF/Motif
graphical user interface in detail.
At the site of each seminar, OSF will also set up a demonstration area
where you can see OSF/1 and OSF/Motif implementatioans
running on various hardware platforms.
