Abstract
An overview is given of a distributed object-oriented operating
system project called the Raven project. The Raven operating system is
intended for use in a variety of applications, such as office systems
and control systems. It is intended to work as a high-speed,
fault-tolerant system. Raven includes both a programming language and an
operating system. Raven is object-oriented in that it supports multiple
inherited types. It is fault tolerant in that it supports persistent
objects, recoverable objects, and atomic transactions. The major
emphasis of the work is the overall design of the language and system,
distributed configuration management, distributed single-level object
store, RAM-based high-speed transaction management, and object-based
parallel communication. All of these areas of work are being developed
within the context of autonomous administration domains
