Distributed Operating Systems Interoperability Research Project

Abstract

This report presents the results of the Distributed Operating System Interoperability Research project sponsored by the Air Force Rome Air Development Center (RADC) from June through September of 1987. The goal was to identify guidelines for developing a future integrated Distributed Operating System (DOS) to support a large Battle Management/Command, Control and Communication (BM/C3) system. The project participants drew upon their experience with existing DOSs to determine the key issues involved in designing a future DOS. After comparing BM/C3 requirements and the status of current DOS research, we concluded that no current DOS designs adequately address BM/C3 requirements and additional research should be focused on meeting BM/C3 needs. In particular, significant research should be directed toward evolving a DOS design that can simultaneously provide: Evolvability, Fault Tolerance, Multi-Level Security and Real-Time Processing Support.
