An extensible operating system structure Neil L. Decapia, Gregorio O. Moreno Jr., and Ramoncito E. Reyes. 1997. Thesis (B.S. Computer Science)--University of the Philippines, Diliman. Computers today are required to perform efficiently across a wide range of applications. This hardware industry has kept up with these demands, but the same cannot be said of software. Traditional methods of adding functionality to the operating system to meet there requirements has made these programs large and complex, exacerbating the problem. Ultimately, the performance of these machines is the performance of the software that drives them, and as mature operating systems begin to show signs of deficiency, the policies and decisions that go into the design of these system software warrant a re-examination. The goal of this project is to design an operating system structure that is highly flexible yet secure, in that it can adjust to changes in the application class that it can support without jeopardizing the integrity of the whole system. Motivations for such extensibility are a need for more functionality and better performance. Our design is based on MIT's exokernel architecture. Operating systems (Computers) Exokernel.
