Deformation quantization is a powerful tool for quantizing theories with
bosonic and fermionic degrees of freedom. The star products involved generate
the mathematical structures which have recently been used in attempts to
analyze the algebraic properties of quantum field theory. In the context of
quantum mechanics they provide a canonical quantization procedure for systems
with either bosonic of fermionic degrees of freedom. We illustrate this
procedure for a number a physical examples, including bosonic, fermionic and
supersymmetric oscillators. We show how non-relativistic and relativistic
particles with spin can be naturally described in this framework.Comment: 21 page
