- Apertos - http://www.csl.sony.co.jp/project/Apertos/
Object-oriented reflective OS, from Sony Computer Science Lab.
- Object-Oriented Operating Systems - http://www.cs.arizona.edu/people/bridges/os/oop.html
Short, annotated, alphabetically sorted list and links, part of larger system.
- Iguana Project - http://www.dsg.cs.tcd.ie/%7Ecoyote/
Investigating use of object-orientation, computational reflection, and metaobject protocols (MOPs) to support dynamic customizing of (system) software.
- Athene - http://www.rocklyte.com/athene/
Next generation, commercial, kernel independent, all object and component based computing environment and OS that users can design to their specifications. Backend is built to run in almost any environment.
- SOS: SOMIW Object-Oriented Operating System - http://www-sor.inria.fr/projects/sos/
Most interesting research results: simple, generic, powerful object model; the concept of Fragmented Objects to structure distributed abstractions; developed flexible naming service, dynamic linking package, library of application oriented communication protocols.
- Renaissance - http://www.cs.purdue.edu/AnnualReports/95/AR95Book-120.html
Multiprocessor OO OS purely designed and implemented in object-oriented techniques, to give application programs transparent access to system and remote objects distributed in a network of machines. OO programming is an ideal approach for building distributed systems. Runs on Sun SPARC, Encore Multimax multiprocessor.
- ShagOS - http://www.csh.rit.edu/~shaggy/shagos.html
Portable object-oriented microkernel OS, dynamically loaded device drivers, fully redesigned and rewritten many times in C++, runs on VAX, x86. Ongoing experiment in using O-O paradigm as framework for full OS, with distributed computing as main aspect in most design decisions.
- Atomatrix - http://atomatrix.sourceforge.net/
A multithreaded execution system of atomic matrices with a dynamic compiler, a network environ, and an object orientated OS.
- Choices Object-Oriented Operating System - http://choices.cs.uiuc.edu/
Research OS coded in C++, architecture organized as frameworks of objects hierarchically classed by function, performance; customized by replacing subframeworks, objects; application interface is kernel objects exported via application/kernel protection layer; kernel and application objects examined via application browsers; runs on bare hardware on distributed and parallel computers. Virtual Choices (VChoices) also runs under Unix System V.
- Grasshopper - http://os.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/GH/Grasshopper.html
Orthogonally persistent, research SASOS. Persistence gives a fundamentally different model of computing from that supported by normal OSs, so using such for persistence research is inappropriate.
- GUIDE - http://sardes.inrialpes.fr/guide/Welcome.html
Grenoble Universities Integrated Distributed Environment. Object-oriented distributed OS to develop and operate distributed applications on local area networks of workstations and servers. Joint project Bull, IMAG Research Institute; related to COMANDOS, BROADCAST Esprit Projects.
- Maruti - http://www.cs.umd.edu/projects/maruti/
Goal: create an environment for developing and deploying critical applications with hard real-time constraints in a reactive environment. Such applications must be able to execute on a platform of distributed and heterogeneous resources, and operate continuously in the presence of faults.
- MK++ - http://www.opengroup.org/RI/technologies/mk-dbleplus/
Mach compatible microkernel; gives one code base able to support high assurance, scalability, realtime, distribution, SMP, fault handling, performance; all built in an object-oriented B3 evaluable fashion.
- Tornado - http://www.eecg.toronto.edu/EECG/RESEARCH/ParallelSys/tornado.html
Object-oriented operating system for large-scale shared-memory multiprocessors. Minimizes data sharing via careful design: often eliminates data sharing even when sharing appears natural. Successor to Hurricane.
- XOS - http://free.prohosting.com/~xos/
Distributed operating system, to be fully object-oriented, preemptively multithreaded/tasked, event/message-driven. Little code yet, but design documents and links are interesting, useful reading.
