Abstract
ISIS is a system for building applications consisting of cooperating, distributed processes. Here we present a new implementation of the ISIS system, geared towards modern microkernel technology. We have adopted similar strategies, such as using basic internal mechanisms for efficiency, external services to implement policies, and light-weight user space constructs for simplicity. The resulting design is less complex and more efficient than the present one. This discussion focuses on the integration of our new system into the MACH and Chorus systems, and discusses the status and performance of an initial implementation. 1. Introduction ISIS [1, 2], developed at Cornell University, is a system for building applications consisting of cooperating, distributed processes. Group management and group communication are two basic building blocks provided by ISIS. ISIS has been very successful, and there is currently a demand for a version that will run on many different environments and transp...
