The architecture of a distributed computer system

Abstract

Some design and implementation issues of the Ogham kernel for distributed operating systems are presented. Ogham is based on an object model, with all objects accessed in a location-independent fashion using a specialized communication facility. Resource managers are realized as processes that are free to migrate throughout the system. Ogham is designed to allow local-area-interconnected microcomputers to be used as a computing facility for the investigation of distributed operating systems and related topics.<>
