Cronus, A Distributed Operating System: Functional Definition and System Concept.

Abstract

This report details the functional definition and system concepts for Cronus, the local area network distributed operating system being developed as part of the DOS Design and implementation project sponsored by Rome Air Development Center. The report is the first project deliverable document and is intended as an overview of the system which we will be developing under this effort. The functions and system concepts discussed in this report are the results of a consideration of the current state of distributed system technology and potential uses of the system in a wide variety of command and control environments.
