Each concept is described at three different levels: terminological definition, formal characterization, and representation in the underlying system. The different...

This report proposes to employ messengers, initially developed in the context of communication protocols, as a fundamental component of the architecture of distributed operating systems. Current microkernels offer non-local services which require the collaboration of neighboring machines or special servers and are implemented using special protocols. These protocols are hard-wired...
