Abstract

The design of an object-oriented operating system (OOOS) involves the design of a model that governs the objects’ method execution. In this paper we show the design of an OOOS based on an OO abstract machine: specifically, the design of the computational model. We propose the adoption of an active object model and we think reflection is a helpful tool to achieve a flexible OO computational system.

This work has been supported in part by the 2nd plan (FICYT) of research of the Principado de Asturias, Spain, under project PBP-TIC-97-01 “Sistema Integral Orientado a Objetos: OVIEDO3”
