Abstract

See full text

An object based operating system for a multitasking computer system provides objects which represent the architecture or interrelationships of the system's resources. Access to certain objects is required in order to use corresponding resources in the system. All objects have a consistent data structure, and a consistent method of defining the operations which apply to each type of object. As a result, it is relatively easy to add new types of system objects to the operating system. Waitable objects are used to synchronize the operation of one or more processes with one another or with specified events. The system provides routines for generating new types of waitable objects, and thereby generating a modified operating system, without modifying other aspects of the operating system's kernel.
