1989 WORKSHOP ON OPERATING SYSTEMS
FOR MISSION CRITICAL COMPUTING
September 19-20, 1989
University of Maryland
College Park, MD
Co-Sponsored by
Office of Naval Technology
Office of Naval Research
Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command
University of Maryland Department of Computer Science
University of Maryland Institute for Advanced Computer Studies
Institute for Defense Analyses
The U.S. Navy, the University of Maryland, and the Institute
for Defense Analyses are sponsoring a workshop for the
exposition of operating systems designed to meet mission
critical computing requirements. Such requirements include,
but are not limited to, real-time responsiveness,
reliability, fault tolerance, and security. Operating
systems that have explicitly taken into account the support
of real-time Ada applications are of particular interest,
due to the Department of Defense mandate on the use of Ada.
Distributed operating systems are also of particular
interest, due to the proliferation of mission critical
computing facilities that are being realized through
networks of interconnected computers.
Individuals or organizations wishing to present their
operating system at this workshop are invited to submit 8
copies of a 5-10 page paper on the operating system to Karen
Gordon by August 15, 1989. The paper should specify which
mission critical computing requirements are addressed by the
operating system. The paper should explain in what way, to
what extent, and through what approaches and mechanisms the
operating system attempts to meet the selected requirements.
Descriptions of commercial operating systems, as well as of
operating systems that exist in the context of research and
development efforts, are solicited.
Participation at the Workshop will be limited to authors of
accepted papers and representatives of the sponsoring
organizations and other invited U.S. Government agencies.
The accepted papers will be published as a Proceedings,
which will be widely distributed within the Government and
also made available to the public.
