Short Description:
Muse is an object-oriented distributed operating system, which provides a new approach of an object architecture. In this architecture an object is a single abstraction of a computing resource in the system. Each object has a group of meta objects which p rovide an excecution environment. These meta objects constitute a meta space which is represented within the meta hierachie. The novel features of this architecture include: - the notion of an object and its meta objects gives programmers a clear abstraction of the system - reflective computing provides a basic mechanism to realize a self-advancing system - the system is flexible and adaptable
