USENIX

body Since 1975, the USENIX Association has provided a forum

for the communication of the results of innovation and

research in Unix and modern open systems. It is well

known for its technical conferences, tutorial programs, and

the wide variety of publications it has sponsored over the

years.

USENIX is the original not-for-profit membership organisation

for individuals and institutions interested in Unix and

Unix-like systems, by extension, X, object-oriented

technology, and other advanced tools and technologies, and the

broad interconnected and interoperable computing environment.

USENIX's activities include an annual technical conference;

frequent specific-topic conferences and symposia; a highly

regarded tutorial program covering a wide range of topics,

introductory through advanced; numerous publications,

including a book series, in cooperation with The MIT Press,

on advanced computing systems, proceedings from USENIX

symposia and conferences, the quarterly journal "Computing

Systems", and the biweekly newsletter; "login: ";

participation in various ANSI, IEEE and ISO standards

efforts; sponsorship of local and special technical groups

relevant to Unix. The chartering of SAGE, the SystemAdministrators Guild as a Special Technical Group within

USENIX is the most recent.
