LANGUAGE AND STRUCTURE IN AN OPERATING SYSTEM.

Research output: Contribution to journalConference articlepeer-review

Abstract

This paper describes the ways in which the features of a high-level language have been used in the design of an operating system for a multiprocessor system. With considerable use of compile-time checking of access between separately compiled modules, it is seen that a secure language-based protection system can be built over an underlying capability scheme. The use of parameterization in the definition of abstractions is shown to offer many advantages in increasing the flexibility of the system design.
