I have posted a request for references on distributed operating, file and programming systems two month ago. Meanwhile I have heard about 220 systems, but I still need some informations. Until now I have collected papers and reports on the following systems: ACCENT, Alpine, Amoeba, Andrew, Argus, Arjuna, ARTS, Arcade (Architecture for an Distributed Environment), Athena, Bridge, BirliX, Cambridge Distributed Computing System, Camelot, Charlotte, Choices (Class Hierarchical Open Interface for Custom Embedded Systems), Chorus, Clouds, COOL (Chorus Object Oriented Layer), Coda, COMANDOS, Concert, COIN, Condor, Conic, Cosmos, Cronus, DAC(NOS), Dash, Deceit, DEMOS/MP, Domain and AEGIS, DUNIX, Eden, Emerald, ENCHERE, Equus, Ficus, GALAXY, Grapevine (Clearingho Guide (Grenoble Universities Integrated Distributed Envirionment), Gutenberg, Harmony, HCS, HeliOS, Hermes, HYDRA, ISIS, JASMIN, LOCUS, Mach, MARS (MAintainable Real-time System), Medusa, Mentat, Meta, MICROS, Muse, MOS(IX), MOSKITO, Networked Resource Discovery, Newcastle Connection (Unix United), NEXUS, PEACE, Plan 9, Prospero, Psyche, PULSE, QuickSilver, REX, RHODOS, Saguaro, SOS (SOMIW Operating System), StarOS, Sprite, Symunix-2, TAOS, Thoth, Trio, Sun NFS, V, x-kernel, ROSCOE/Arachne, SODA, Tim , Gothic, Firefly, INCAS, POOL, AFS (Andrew File System), TRON (The Real-time Operating System Nucleus), Hermix, RNet, SIGMA, ITC, Vanguard, Mirage, HXDP, Xerox XDFS (Juniper), Tilde, DMINIX, DISTOS, Perseus, VAXclusters, HARTOS, DRAGON SLAYER, CORAL, RIG, DOT, Alchemy, SODS/OS, Cedar, DFS, MIKE, MESA, REBUS, SDEF, NIL, Marionette, POOL (Parallel Object-Oriented Language), Timex (RK-kernel), ARGOS (A Research GMMP Operating System), BIFS, IPLocus, Spring Kernel I have references but no papers about the following systems: Alpha, ANSA, Dune, Echo, EFS, Helix, IBIS, LINCS, Linda, Lynx-OS, Mayflower, Meglos, Mercury, Monads, Profemo, RFS (Remote File System), Shiva, Solo, SWALLOW, THETA (Trusted HETerogeneous Architecture), TOPAZ, XERO, XOS, XMS, LADY, archOS, Gothix, RNFS, DOOM, Shoshin OS, ESP, MODOS, CSA, Pordos, MOP, RIDE, Agora, Distributed UNIX (S-UNIX, F-UNIX), Roe, WFS, MUNIX, DCS, Domain Structure, Herbert-II, The Distributed Computing Operating System, Conus, TRIX, WEB, ADCOS, Fully DP, Violet, Felix FS, DISLAN alex, SR, S/Net Linda Kernel, NonStop Kernel, MANDIS, Ra Kernel, Xcode (Cnet), Wisdom, PARX, Heraklit, Ivy, Amber I would be very happy, if anyone can send me some papers. At the moment I am locking for references about the following systems: line 1: the name line 2: the type of the system line 3: the organisation line 4: the main heads of the project Chameleon unknown ESPRIT Project unknown GAFFES Distributed File System University of California at Berkeley, USA S.

Has anyone heard of other distributed operating systems or kernels? When I have completed my collection, I will post a list including references to this news group.
