Operating Systems Windows 2000 Research Edition Where the Academic Knights meet the Evil Empire

چکیده
The rivalry in the operating system market place has a severe impact on the academic world. Where in the old days intellection quality and careful deliberation would prevail, nowadays discussions about operating systems research appear to be more like the battlefield of a holy war, with objectivity as its main victim. We have tried to side step the emotional current, and select an operating system that could bring our research into the next century, based on objective technical and organizational criteria. This paper describes how this evaluation lead to the insight that Microsoft’s Windows NT is the operating system that is best prepared for the future.

Universal Grammar and Chaos/Complexity Theory: Where Do They Meet And Where Do They Cross?
Abstract The present study begins by sketching "Chaos/Complexity Theory" (C/CT) and its applica-tion to the nature of language and language acquisition. Then, the theory of "Universal Grammar" (UG) is explicated with an eye to C/CT. Firstly, it is revealed that CCT may or may not be allied with a theory of language acquisition that takes UG as the initial state of language acquisition for ...
متن کاملOperating System Support for Multi-User, Remote, Graphical Interaction
The emergence of thin client computing and multi-user, remote, graphical interaction revives a range of operating system research issues long dormant, and introduces new directions as well. This paper investigates the effect of operating system design and implementation on the performance of thin client service and interactive applications. We contend that the key performance metric for this ty...
متن کاملAugmented CPU Reservations: Towards Predictable Execution on General-Purpose Operating Systems
One problem with performing soft real-time computations on general-purpose operating systems is that these OSs may spend significant amounts of time in the kernel instead of performing work on behalf of the application that is nominally scheduled: the OS effectively steals time from the running application. Stolen time can be a significant obstacle to predictable program execution on real-time ...
