TheUniversity of Michigan Executive System, orUMES, abatchoperating system developed at theUniversity of Michigan in 1958, was widely used at many universities. Based on theGeneral Motors Executive System for theIBM 701, UMES was revised to work on the mainframe computers in use at the University of Michigan during this time (IBM 704,709, and7090) and to work better for the small student jobs that were expected to be the primary work load at the university.
UMES was in use at the University of Michigan until 1967, whenMTS was phased in to take advantage of the newervirtual memorytime-sharing technology that became available on theIBM System/360 Model 67.
