Abstract
In this paper, synchronization and communication tools designed to operate in a distributed environment have been described. Good insight into their behavior has been made possible through simulation studies. Future Operating Systems may have to be run on distributed architectures and may need to include that kind of mechanisms. Moreover, another class of problems has been reported which deal with the internal control and the non-centralized allocation of resources into such distributed systems. The transparency concept and some others currently being investigated may help to build efficient distributed architectures.
