Reconfigurable C2 DDP System
Abstract
ArchOS is the operating system being designed and constructed as part of the Archons research project. The goal of the project is to conduct research into the issues of decentralization in distributed computer systems at the operating system level and below. The primary research issues being investigated within Archons are decentralized control, team and consensus decision making, transaction management, probabilistic algorithms and architectural support in a real-time environment. The ArchOS computational model has been designed with both the real-time application writer and the ArchOS implementers in mind. As a result, a high level of modularity and maintainability are supported by ArchOS. The computational model features a set of cooperating instances of distributed abstract data types, called arobjects, and describes the various components of arobjects. The current set of ArchOS primitives is also described in detail to define the client's view. Finally, the rationale for our design decisions is also included. Decentralized control, Real-time scheduling, Distributed operating system, Concurrency control, Dynamic resource allocation.
