Hello out there! No news ISN'T good news! Someone suggest a new topic. I know there are several researchers who subscribe to this group, tell us about your research! DL

I have a suggestion: what about operating system component generators?
Based on some discussions with Bob Brown and other references I am aware
of, I would like to suggest a discussion on things to generator
components for operating systems
We have programs for compilers like YACC and LEX (in the Unix world),
and several less popular tools from Cornell, LLNL, etc. What about for
similar for operating systems?
A simplest one would be for file systems. The problem is there are few
poor taxonomies and classification schemes. For instance, should a file
system for a real time OS significantly differ from any other? Are there
better ways to handle sold state disks? Similar tools could be thought
about for processes management, network communication, etc.
