This was a 50% secondment from my teaching duties.I managed the University's main computing resource, a four machine VAXCluster (1 x VAX 8800, 2 x VAX 8200, 1 x VAXStation 3100).As well as management, I undertook numerous software development tasks; these included the University's first robust charging system for printed output. I also developed terminal.

Computing Laboratory, University Of Kent, Canterbury

This was a 50% secondment from my teaching duties.I managed the University of Kent's main computing resource, a dual ICL 2960 mainframe system. As well as day to day running, this involved operating system development; the system ran the EMAS 2900 system from the University of Edinburgh, rather than ICL's VME/K or VME/B. The development included numerous.

I undertook a variety of projects during this time:I was responsible for testing and validation of manufacturer operating system corrections and enhancements for the ICL 2960 mainframe, at that time running under the VME/K operating system.I also, later on, managed the migration of this system to the EMAS 2900 operating system, including detailed code.
