Beyond UNIX—A True Distributed System for the 1990s
نویسندگان
چکیده
UNIX has been around now for almost 20 years. At the time UNIX began, most departments felt themselves well-endowed indeed if they owned a single PDP-11/45 with 256K memory and a 2.5M RK05 disk. Nowadays a laptop would be embarrassed to have only that. It is our hypothesis that UNIX is no longer the appropriate kind of operating system for the 1990s. In this paper, a new system, Amoeba, will be described, that we believe meets the requirements for distributed computing in the 1990s.

متن کاملIntroduction to Unix Security for Security Practitioners
In an age of increasingly sophisticated security tools (e.g., firewalls, virtual private networks, intrusion detection systems, etc.), many people do not consider operating system security a very sexy topic. Indeed, given that the UNIX operating system was originally developed in 1969 and that multiple full-length books have been written on protecting UNIX machines, one might be tempted to dism...

متن کاملConcurrent Simulation and Control of Robot Tasks
In the area of telerobotics, where remote systems are to be controlled, it is helpful to plan subsequent operations based on as much relevant data as possible. The simulation of the remote system, executed in parallel, can provide additional information, otherwise diicult or impossible to be retrieved from sensor feedback. In this paper the integrated DiSCUS environment (Distributed Simulation ...

The AliEn (ALICE Environment) file catalogue is a global unique namespace providing mapping between a UNIX-like logical name structure and the corresponding physical files distributed over 80 storage elements worldwide. Powerful search tools and hierarchical metadata information are integral parts of the system and are used by the Grid jobs as well as local users to store and access all files o...
