Virtually Owned Computers { a New Paradigm for Distributed Operating Systems Virtually Owned Computers|a New Paradigm for Distributed Operating Systems

Existing distributed operating systems lack two key features| predictability and choice. Predictability refers to the ability of the system to provide each user with a computing environment whose performance is independent of the behavior of other users. Choice refers to the ability of a user to select a computer system that meets that user's speci cations, needs or budget. In this paper, we in...
