Andrew Stuart "Andy" Tanenbaum é o chefe do Departamento de sistemas de computação, na Universidade Vrije, Amsterdã nos Países Baixos. Ele é o autor do MINIX, um sistema operacional baseado no Unix com propósito educacional, e bastante conhecido por seus livros sobre ciência da computação.
Nasceu na cidade de Nova Iorque e cresceu em White Plains no estado de Nova Iorque. Recebeu o título de bacharelado pelo MIT e o doutorado pela UC Berkeley em 1971. Atualmente ministra aulas sobre Organização de computadores e Sistemas operacionais, muito conhecido na área de Arquitetura de Computadores, tendo seus livros como base para diversos cursos da área.
Conhecido internacionalmente pelos seus livros de Ciência da computação, particularmente:
Redes de computadores, ISBN 0-13-066102-3
Sistemas operacionais: Design e implementação, ISBN 0-13-638677-6
Sistemas operacionais modernos, ISBN 0-13-031358-0Outras publicações:
Structured Computer Organization
Distributed Systems: Principles and ParadigmsO núcleo Linux foi inspirado no MINIX . Tanenbaum ficou envolvido com as discussões do Usenet durante 1992 com Linus Torvalds, criador do Linux, sobre os méritos básicos de Torvalds usando núcleo monolítico em vez de micronúcleo que Tanenbaum achou que era o meio do futuro.
Também implementou o sistema operacional distribuído Amoeba. Wikipedia
