The proceedings contain 23 papers. The topics discussed include: the transfer of information and authority in a protection systems;primitives for distributedcomputing;a virtual machine emulator for performance evaluation;WFS: a simple shared file system for a distributed environment;experience with processes and monitors in mesa;evaluating synchronization mechanisms;specification and verification of the UCLA Unix security kernel;a client-based transaction system to maintain data integrity;a mechanism for information control in parallel systems;modelling and analysis of distributed software systems;systems aspects of the Cambridge ring;virtual terminal management in a multiple process environment;pilot: an operating system for a personal computer;the behavior of Ethernet-like computer communications networks;an open operating system for a single-user machine;the roscoe distributed operating system;in support of domain structure for operating systems;variable-length capabilities as a solution to the small-object problem;and StarOS, a multiprocessor operating system for the support of task forces.
The problem of modelling and analysing the performance of software structures for distributed computer systems is addressed. A modelling technique is proposed which has many striking analogies with current techniques ...
