Trends in Operating Systems Towards Dynamic User - level Policy Provision
نویسنده
چکیده
It is possible to distinguish between policy and mechanism in operating system design. There is a trend to move policy out of the operating system kernel and into the user-level. This trend is described with respect to example operating system types. A system is proposed which takes this policy/mechanism split to the extreme of having the operating system kernel reduced to a hardware object which provides a low-level but abstract view of the actual hardware. Such a system would be exible enough to allow investigation of dynamic, user-level, provision of policy.

With the introduction of Windows NT, Terminal Server Edition (TSE), Microsoft finally brings to Windows the “thin-client” computing model the X Window System has offered Unix for a decade. TSE’s two most salient features are the provision of multi-user login service and the provision of that service remotely, over a network link. These features distinguish TSE from previous Microsoft operating ...
متن کاملUser-based Vehicle Route Guidance in Urban Networks Based on Intelligent Multi Agents Systems and the ANT-Q Algorithm
Guiding vehicles to their destination under dynamic traffic conditions is an important topic in the field of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). Nowadays, many complex systems can be controlled by using multi agent systems. Adaptation with the current condition is an important feature of the agents. In this research, formulation of dynamic guidance for vehicles has been investigated based...
