GUIDE
Grenoble Universities Integrated Distributed Environment. Object-oriented distributed OS to develop and operate distributed applications on local area networks of workstations and servers. Joint project Bull, IMAG Research Institute; related to COMANDOS, BROADCAST Esprit Projects.
Iguana Project
Investigating use of object-orientation, computational reflection, and metaobject protocols (MOPs) to support dynamic customizing of (system) software.
Maruti
Goal: create an environment for developing and deploying critical applications with hard real-time constraints in a reactive environment. Such applications must be able to execute on a platform of distributed and heterogeneous resources, and operate continuously in the presence of faults.
MK++
Mach compatible microkernel; gives one code base able to support high assurance, scalability, realtime, distribution, SMP, fault handling, performance; all built in an object-oriented B3 evaluable fashion.
Object-Oriented Operating Systems
Short, annotated, alphabetically sorted list and links, part of larger system.
Renaissance
Multiprocessor OO OS purely designed and implemented in object-oriented techniques, to give application programs transparent access to system and remote objects distributed in a network of machines. OO programming is an ideal approach for building distributed systems. Runs on Sun SPARC, Encore Multimax multiprocessor.
ShagOS
Portable object-oriented microkernel OS, dynamically loaded device drivers, fully redesigned and rewritten many times in C++, runs on VAX, x86. Ongoing experiment in using O-O paradigm as framework for full OS, with distributed computing as main aspect in most design decisions.
SOS: SOMIW Object-Oriented Operating System
Most interesting research results: simple, generic, powerful object model; the concept of Fragmented Objects to structure distributed abstractions; developed flexible naming service, dynamic linking package, library of application oriented communication protocols.
Tornado
Object-oriented operating system for large-scale shared-memory multiprocessors. Minimizes data sharing via careful design: often eliminates data sharing even when sharing appears natural. Successor to Hurricane.
XOS
Distributed operating system, to be fully object-oriented, preemptively multithreaded/tasked, event/message-driven. Little code yet, but design documents and links are interesting, useful reading.
Apertos
Object-oriented reflective OS, from Sony Computer Science Lab.
Athene
Next generation, commercial, kernel independent, all object and component based computing environment and OS that users can design to their specifications. Backend is built to run in almost any environment.
Atomatrix
A multithreaded execution system of atomic matrices with a dynamic compiler, a network environ, and an object orientated OS.
Choices Object-Oriented Operating System
Research OS coded in C++, architecture organized as frameworks of objects hierarchically classed by function, performance; customized by replacing subframeworks, objects; application interface is kernel objects exported via application/kernel protection layer; kernel and application objects examined via application browsers; runs on bare hardware on distributed and parallel computers. Virtual Choices (VChoices) also runs under Unix System V.
Grasshopper
Orthogonally persistent, research SASOS. Persistence gives a fundamentally different model of computing from that supported by normal OSs, so using such for persistence research is inappropriate.
