  • Research Purpose Operating Systems – a Wide Survey
    GESJ: Computer Science and Telecommunications 2010|No.3(26) ISSN 1512-1232 RESEARCH PURPOSE OPERATING SYSTEMS – A WIDE SURVEY Pinaki Chakraborty School of Computer and Systems Sciences, Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi – 110067, India. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Operating systems constitute a class of vital software. A plethora of operating systems, of different types and developed by different manufacturers over the years, are available now. This paper concentrates on research purpose operating systems because many of them have high technological significance and they have been vividly documented in the research literature. Thirty-four academic and research purpose operating systems have been briefly reviewed in this paper. It was observed that the microkernel based architecture is being used widely to design research purpose operating systems. It was also noticed that object oriented operating systems are emerging as a promising option. Hence, the paper concludes by suggesting a study of the scope of microkernel based object oriented operating systems. Keywords: Operating system, research purpose operating system, object oriented operating system, microkernel 1. Introduction An operating system is a software that manages all the resources of a computer, both hardware and software, and provides an environment in which a user can execute programs in a convenient and efficient manner [1]. However, the principles and concepts used in the operating systems were not standardized in a day. In fact, operating systems have been evolving through the years [2]. There were no operating systems in the early computers. In those systems, every program required full hardware specification to execute correctly and perform each trivial task, and its own drivers for peripheral devices like card readers and line printers.

  • Mixed-Criticality Scheduling and Resource Sharing for High-Assurance Operating Systems
    Mixed-Criticality Scheduling and Resource Sharing for High-Assurance Operating Systems Anna Lyons Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Computer Science and Engineering University of New South Wales Sydney, Australia September 2018 Abstract Criticality of a software system refers to the severity of the impact of a failure. In a high-criticality system, failure risks significant loss of life or damage to the environ- ment. In a low-criticality system, failure may risk a downgrade in user-experience. As criticality of a software system increases, so too does the cost and time to develop that software: raising the criticality also raises the assurance level, with the highest levels requiring extensive, expensive, independent certification. For modern cyber-physical systems, including autonomous aircraft and other vehicles, the traditional approach of isolating systems of different criticality by using completely separate physical hardware, is no longer practical, being both restrictive and inefficient. The result is mixed-criticality systems, where software applications with different criticalities execute on the same hardware. Sufficient mechanisms are required to ascertain that software in mixed-criticality systems is sufficiently isolated, otherwise, all software on that hardware is promoted to the highest criticality level, driving up costs to impractical levels. For mixed-criticality systems to be viable, both spatial and temporal isolation are required. Current aviation standards allow for mixed-criticality systems where temporal and spatial resources are strictly and statically partitioned in time and space, allowing some improvement over fully isolated hardware. However, further improvements are not only possible, but required for future innovation in cyber-physical systems.

  • Operating System Verification—An Overview
    Sadhan¯ a¯ Vol. 34, Part 1, February 2009, pp. 27–69. © Printed in India Operating system verification—An overview GERWIN KLEIN Sydney Research Laboratory, NICTA,∗ Australia, School of Computer Science and Engineering, University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia e-mail: [email protected] Abstract. This paper gives a high-level introduction to the topic of formal, interactive, machine-checked software verification in general, and the verification of operating systems code in particular. We survey the state of the art, the advantages and limitations of machine-checked code proofs, and describe two specific ongoing larger-scale verification projects in more detail. Keywords. Formal software verification; operating systems; theorem proving. 1. Introduction The fastest, cheapest and easiest way to build something is properly the first time (Parker 2007). This engineer’s credo has made it into popular literature, but it seems to be largely ignored in the world of software development. In the late 1960s a software crisis was diagnosed on a summit in the Bavarian Alps (Naur & Randell 1969): Software was getting more and more complex, and we had no structured way of building it. We ended up with projects that took significantly longer than planned, were more expensive than planned, delivered results that did not fully address customer needs, or at worst were useless. This summit in the late 1960s is widely seen as the birth of the discipline of software engineering. Now, almost 40 years later, we have come a long way. There are numerous books on software engineering, a plenitude of methodologies, programming languages, and processes to choose from.

  • Scalability of Microkernel-Based Systems
    Scalability of Microkernel-Based Systems Zur Erlangung des akademischen Grades eines DOKTORS DER INGENIERWISSENSCHAFTEN von der Fakultat¨ fur¨ Informatik der Universitat¨ Fridericiana zu Karlsruhe (TH) genehmigte DISSERTATION von Volkmar Uhlig aus Dresden Tag der mundlichen¨ Prufung:¨ 30.05.2005 Hauptreferent: Prof. Dr. rer. nat. Gerhard Goos Universitat¨ Fridericiana zu Karlsruhe (TH) Korreferent: Prof. Dr. sc. tech. (ETH) Gernot Heiser University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia Karlsruhe: 15.06.2005 i Abstract Microkernel-based systems divide the operating system functionality into individ- ual and isolated components. The system components are subject to application- class protection and isolation. This structuring method has a number of benefits, such as fault isolation between system components, safe extensibility, co-existence of different policies, and isolation between mutually distrusting components. How- ever, such strict isolation limits the information flow between subsystems including information that is essential for performance and scalability in multiprocessor sys- tems. Semantically richer kernel abstractions scale at the cost of generality and mini- mality–two desired properties of a microkernel. I propose an architecture that al- lows for dynamic adjustment of scalability-relevant parameters in a general, flex- ible, and safe manner. I introduce isolation boundaries for microkernel resources and the system processors. The boundaries are controlled at user-level. Operating system components and applications can transform their semantic information into three basic parameters relevant for scalability: the involved processors (depending on their relation and interconnect), degree of concurrency, and groups of resources. I developed a set of mechanisms that allow a kernel to: 1. efficiently track processors on a per-resource basis with support for very large number of processors, 2.

  • A Look at the EROS Operating System Jonathan S
    A Look at the EROS Operating System Jonathan S. Shapiro Johns Hopkins University Abstract EROS is a capability-based, secure operating system originally designed to address the needs of shared computing utilities involving mutually suspicious users. The deploy­ ment plan for the original design was to provide leased compute service to competing business entities, potentially running on a single machine. As a result, the system was structured to preserve security in the face of both hostile dynamic content and hostile users. While the EROS platform can support the efficient deployment of multilevel se­ cure environments, it is primarily focused on business security requirements. These re­ quirements often address integrity as well as security concerns. An EROS-based deploy­ ment can ensure that business-critical data is manipulated exclusively by authorized ap­ plication software, which in turn is guarded against user tampering. Simultaneously, EROS enables users to run untrusted utility software, hand private or proprietary data to that software, and be assured (within reason) that the data cannot be disclosed to the out­ side world. This paper gives a general overview of the EROS system and what it can do. The EROS research project has now ended. Further work based on the EROS system is being pursued under the CapROS project (www.capros.org). The EROS team has moved on to a successor system: Coyotos (www.coyotos.org). 1 Introduction in other publications. Others result from chains of reasoning that are omitted for reasons of space.

  • Reinterpreting Eros in Plato's Symposium
    Reinterpreting Eros in Plato’s Symposium Master’s Thesis Presented to The Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Brandeis University Department of Ancient Greek and Roman Studies Leonard Muellner, Advisor In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for Master’s Degree by Peter Caccavale May 2012 Acknowledgements I would like to thank everyone who encouraged me throughout this process including my family, friends and colleagues. Without your support and guidance I am sure this thesis would never have been successful. I owe special thanks to my advisor, Professor Leonard Muellner, whose continued guidance and suggestions transformed this thesis from scattered thoughts to a structured work. From weekly meetings to editing a constant stream of drafts, your help was invaluable and I am very thankful for all of your advice. I would also like to thank my readers, Professor Patricia Johnston and Professor Cheryl Walker. I appreciate the time you took to read such a large thesis and your suggestions and comments were instrumental in fixing my errors in both grammar and logic. Finally, I am happy to be able to thank Christina for her unwavering support and encouragement. By now you have probably heard more about Plato and Greek grammar than you ever would have wanted, but you have also added more to this work than I think you realize. P.G.C. ii ABSTRACT Redefining Eros in Plato’s Symposium A thesis presented to the Department of Classical Studies Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Brandeis University Waltham, Massachusetts By Peter Caccavale At the heart of the Symposium there lies the conceptual problem of defining the term eros in a manner that remains faithful to both its linguistic and philosophical context.
