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

Abstract

This report details the functional definition and system concepts for Cronus the distributed operating system being developed as part of the DOS design and Implementation project sponsored by Rome Air Development Center The report was the first project deliverable document originally published in June 1982 and was intended as an overview of the system which we are developing under this effort < 1 > it was revised in October 1984 to reflect the minimal changes in direction taken during the initial phases of detailed design and implementation 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.
