In this paper, the authors aim at providing a complete survey of distributed operating systems. This paper also explains in detail about various key design issues involved in the building of such ...

Distributed operating systems, defined as such, have not become as widely used by any stretch in comparison to Linux, Unix and Windows, which thrive in millions of networks. See Plan 9 and Inferno .

One of the problems in doing it earlier was that the ingredients weren't there: extensibility of switch operating systems, APIs, and many people approached this from configuration as the starting ...

The idea of a distributed operating system has been around in academia for a long time. Professor Andrew Tanenbaum, who once famously told Linus Torvalds that his operating system was "obsolete ...

Distributed algorithms for graph problems represent a vibrant area of study that addresses the challenges of decentralised computation across interconnected networks.

But it provides a framework in which to study how networks of cells might solve other common problems in biological systems such as forward planning, trajectory calculations and so on.

The availability of the mobile operating system, which is open source, will be limited to China for now, though the company has plans to bring it to international markets at a later stage, he said.
