===Technical details=== * [[Jerome H. Saltzer]], ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20060918161127/http://www.lcs.mit.edu/publications/specpub.php?id=691 Introduction to Multics]'' (MIT Project MAC, 1974) is a considerably longer introduction to the system, geared towards actual users. * [[Elliott Organick|Elliott I. Organick]], ''The Multics System: An Examination of Its Structure'' (MIT Press, 1972) is the standard work on the system, although it documents an early version, and some features described therein never appeared in the actual system. * [[Victor A. Vyssotsky|V. A. Vyssotsky]], [[Fernando J. Corbató|F. J. Corbató]], R. M. Graham, ''[http://www.multicians.org/fjcc3.html Structure of the Multics Supervisor]'' (AFIPS 1965) describes the basic internal structure of the Multics kernel. * [[Jerome H. Saltzer]], ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20011127053649/http://ncstrl.mit.edu/Dienst/UI/2.0/Describe/ncstrl.mit_lcs/LCS-TR-30?abstract=saltzer Traffic Control in a Multiplexed Computer System]'' (MIT Project MAC, June 1966) is the original description of the idea of switching kernel stacks; one of the classic papers of computer science. * R. C. Daley, [[Peter G. Neumann|P. G. Neumann]], ''[http://www.multicians.org/fjcc4.html A General Purpose File System for Secondary Storage]'' (AFIPS, 1965) describes the file system, including the access control and backup mechanisms. * R. J. Feiertag, E. I. Organick, ''[http://www.multicians.org/rjf.html The Multics Input/Output System]''. Describes the lower levels of the I/O implementation. * A. Bensoussan, C. T. Clingen, R. C. Daley, ''[http://www.multicians.org/multics-vm.html The Multics Virtual Memory: Concepts and Design]'', ([[Association for Computing Machinery|ACM]] [[SOSP]], 1969) describes the Multics memory system in some detail. * [[Paul Green (engineer)|Paul Green]], ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20010305133541/http://ftp.stratus.com:80/pub/vos/multics/pg/mvm.html Multics Virtual Memory – Tutorial and Reflections]'' is a good in-depth look at the Multics storage system. * [[Roger R. Schell]], ''Dynamic Reconfiguration in a Modular Computer System'' (MIT Project MAC, 1971) describes the reconfiguration mechanisms.
