Adaptive Domain Environment for Operating Systems

Adaptive Domain Environment for Operating Systems




About

Here you will find the preliminary design documents for the Adaptive Domain Environment for Operating Systems (Adeos.) While these documents inspired the implementation of Adeos done by Philippe Gerum, the actual behavior and implementation differs significantly from the documents found here. Hence, we encourage you to only use these documents to understand the preliminary design of Adeos. For a more relevant description, please read the original announcement of the Adeos nanokernel made to the Linux kernel mailing list found here and to visit Adeos' development site at adeos.org.
