He was born in Frederiksberg , a suburb of Copenhagen , Denmark . Brinch Hansen was one of the pioneers of ). In the 1960s , Brinch Hansen worked at the Danish computer company Regnecentralen , first in the Compiler group headed by Peter Naur and Jørn Jensen , and, later, as the chief architect of the RC 4000 Minicomputer and its renowned Operating System Kernel ( RC 4000 Multiprogramming System ). In 1972 , he wrote the first comprehensive textbook on ''Operating System Principles''. Since 1970 his research in computer science focused on concurrent programming: Inspired by Ole-Johan Dahl and Kristen Nygaard 's programming language Simula 67 , he invented the Monitor Concept in 1972. In the United States, he also developed the first concurrent programming language, Concurrent Pascal , in 1975. In 1977, he wrote the first book on Concurrent Programming: ''The Architecture of Concurrent Programs''. More recently, Brinch Hansen documented the historical development of these fundamental areas of computer science. Since 1987, he was a Professor at Syracuse University in New York State .
