Rob - would you be willing to tell us what the novel work is (and more about it) that still has relevance today? I'm sure I'm not the only one on the list that would love to learn more about that history.
I wouldn’t try to speak for Rob, but I imagine that this would include at least the rendezvous work (cf the “Multiprocessor Sleep and Wakeup” paper) and possibly channel-based CSP-style concurrency inside the kernel.
Hopefully Rob will share this with his thoughts here; I’m interested as well.
