Research Issues in Distributed Operating Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
As distributed computing becomes more widespread, both in high-energy physics and in other applications, centralized operating systems will gradually give way to distributed ones. In this paper we discuss some current research on five issues that are central to the design of distributed operating systems: communications primitives, naming and protection, resource management, fault tolerance, and system services. For each of these issues, some principles, examples, and other considerations will be given.

Recent Developments in Discrete Event Systems
This article is a brief exposure of the process approach to a newly emerging area called "discrete event systems" in control theory and summarizes some of the recent developments in this area. Discrete event systems is an area of research that is developing within the interstices of computer, control and communication sciences. The basic direction of research addresses issues in the analysis an...
متن کاملA Comparative Study of Distributed Shared Memory
In this research the various issues that arise in the design and implementation of distributed shared memory (DSM) systems are examined. This work has been motivated by two observations: distributed systems will continue to become popular, and will be increasingly used for solving large computational problems; and shared memory paradigm is attractive for programming large distributed systems be...

This discussion is followed by a look at the system arc...
متن کاملDistributed Operating Systems
The paper aims at providing a complete survey of contemporary distributed systems of that time. The authors define a distributed operating system distinguishing it from networked systems. The paper endeavours to also explain in detail the key design issues involved in the building of such systems. A few examples of research projects are considered in light of the issues discussed. A distributed...
متن کاملDistributed operating systems anno 1992. What have we learned so far?
Research on distributed systems has been going on for over a decade. Perhaps it is time to sit back and take stock. What have we learned in this time? in this paper the author presents one viewpoint of what i s important in the field. The topics covered include system structure, communication, and distributed shared memory. The paper concludes by discussing some open issues for future research.
