The design and implementation of a Monolithic-Kernel Single Board Computer (SBC) Cubietruck GNU/Linux-like operating system on ARM platform in technical details, including boot loader design UBOOT, building the Kernel uImage, design of root file system and init process. The Single Board Computer Operating System (SBC OS) is developed on Linux platform with GNU tool chain. The SBC OS can be used...

One of the most useful applications of natural language interface technology is the area of computer consultants. Computer consultants are programs which a user can ask for help about some topic. One of the easiest ways to interact with computer consultants is by typed English. These programs can give answers in English too. We hav e developed a computer consultant called OSCON (Operating Syste...

Middleware is a class of software technologies designed to help manage the complexity and heterogeneity inherent in distributed systems. It is defined as a layer of software above the operating system but below the application program that provides a common programming abstraction across a distributed system, as shown in Figure 1. In doing so, it provides a higher-level building block for progr...

This paper concerns a study on the optimal control for nonlinear systems. An appropriate alternative in order to alleviate the nonlinearity of a system is the exact linearization approach. In this fashion, the nonlinear system has been linearized using input-output feedback linearization (IOFL). Then, by utilizing the well developed optimal control theory of linear systems, the compensated ...

Scheduling is a fundamental operating system function, since almost all computer resources are scheduled before use. The CPU is one of the primary computer resources. Central Processing Unit (CPU) scheduling plays an important role by switching the CPU among various processes. A processor is the important resource in computer; the operating system can make the computer more productive. The purp...

The overall performance of a computer system is heavily dependent on the interactions between the hardware, the operating system, and the application code. Typically, the performance of a computer system is measured by the amount of time required to complete the computations in a set of benchmark programs. These time-based measurements provide data on the performance of a particular combination...

Although constrained by history, schedule, and hardware to triviality when compared to modem operating systems, the North American 701 Monitor was arguably the first operating system to be in operation. Installed in December 1955, the North American 701 Monitor was developed as a prototype monitor to extract more utilization from overburdened IBM 701'8 and pilot test the operating system concep...
