Abstract

An overview is given of Vanguard, an experimental object-oriented distributed operating system kernel currently under development. Vanguard is defined by a protocol suite and object model, independent of any particular programming language. The Vanguard protocols and object model are implemented by a distributed kernel that is also structured as an object-oriented Vanguard application. Although object oriented, Vanguard is not based on any single programming language, object oriented or otherwise. The Vanguard kernel currently runs only as an application on top of existing host operating systems
