Abstract
A leading scientist in computing
since his graduation from Massachusetts
Institute of Technology in
1968, Peter J. Denning is best
known for his pioneering work in
virtual memory, especially for
inventing the working-set model
for program behavior, which eliminated
thrashing in operating systems
and became the reference
standard for all memory management
policies. He is also known for
his work on the principles of operating systems, operational
analysis of queueing network systems, the design
and implementation of the Computer Science Network
(CSNET), ACM digital library, and codifying the principles
of computing. A primary goal of Denning’s career
has always been promoting the science in computer
science through education, research, and the general
health of the field.
