An Industry Project to Progress Microkernel-based Open Operating Systems for the 1990s

Objective

A tight focus on market requirements is ensured through the involvement of four major European IT manufacturers, who play a major role in defining requirements, in evaluation, and in exploiting the project's results. Close interactions with UNIX System Laboratories facilitate the exchange of views with a broad community of IT manufacturers.

The aim is to target the broadest possible market, and particularly the mainstream UNIX market for small to medium-sized systems.

Attention is also paid to the real-time embedded systems and high-performance parallel computing systems markets, where Microkernel technology has already proved to be of major benefit.
