Abstract
Supporting software has not kept pace with the
micro-miniaturization of microprocessor-based machines. The predominant
operating system on such machines is MS-DOS, with no support for
distributed computing. The goal of the LITTLE WORK project is to use
off-the-shelf components to develop a mobile computing environment that
is identical to that encountered in the office environment. Components
identified as critical building blocks are the computer, the operating
system, the file system, and communication. Each is examined.
Development of a prototype machine is described
