Designing and implementing<i>Choices</i>

Abstract

CHOICES" AN OBJECT-ORIENTED SYSTEM IN C ++ e describe our experiences in constructing Choices and a design methodology that extends existing design approaches by explicidy encouraging specialization, as well as design and code reuse. Although many operating system techniques and designs are well documented, few object-oriented operating systems exist and have been described. SOS [23], CHORUS [18], and Apertos [26] are other examples of object-oriented operating systems.
