I am interested in obtaining information regarding UNIX or UNIX-like
distributed operating systems. Thus far the major systems known to me
are: UNIX United and thee Newcastle Connection, LOCUS, Amoeba, V-System,
Eden, Argus, and of course Mach.
[ Don't forget Sprite at Berkeley. It's very impressive. I hope one of ]
[ the Spriters will follow up on this. --DL ]
*NOTE* There were too many systems to list. If any system has been
covered in any of the following then I have information on them:
"Distributed Operating Systems", Andrew S. Tanenbaum and
Robbert van Renesse, ACM Computing Surveys, Vol 17, No. 4,
Dec., 1985
in any USENIX Conference Proceeding from the Summer, 1984
thru Summer, 1987 (inclusive)
Proceedings: Workshop on Workstation Operating Systems,
November 5-6, 1987, Cambridge MA
Proceedings from the Second Workshop on Large-Grained Parallelism,
November, 1987, Pittsburg PA
If there are other such systems that I ought to look into, please
send me some e-mail with some references.
Thank You,

Could Joe repost that information (or perhaps, as I will be in Cambridge for the X Conference, tell me how to get a copy directly while in Mass.), please?

You might contact Plexus Computers. They developed (and sold) the first comercial Distributed File system in 1982-3 for System-III. This was a rmount model with state information. The designer was Monte Pickard, now at Counterpoint computers. [ This is mostly of historical interest, but I would like to hear more ] [ about it if Monte is somewhere on the net. --DL ]
