RESEARCH INSTITUTE SYMPOSIUM
FEBRUARY 4-5, 1992

The OSF Research Institute will host a Symposium on the present status of the  
OSF microkernel investigations on February 4-5, 1992 in Cambridge,  
Massachusetts. The Symposium will focus on the following topics:

- The OSF RI's decomposition of OSF/1 into a Mach pure kernel  and a user space  
server and the application of this architecture to high performance, massively  
parallel multicomputers.

- Related work by other companies and universities concerned with the Mach pure  
kernel on uniprocessor, multiprocessor and other architectures, and the  
creation of various operating system servers.

- The use of the pure kernel for object oriented technology as in the Esprit  
Comandos project.

- The features, benefits and technical challenges associated with a  
rearchitected operating system.

There will be ample time for those engaged in O/S investigations to discuss the  
status of their work with one another.

The fee for this Symposium is $175/participant and is limited to OSF Members.   
If you are interested in participating in this Symposium, contact Deborah  
Lanham at the Research Institute for additional information (lanham@osf.org).
