Abstract

A new type of local area network operating system namedCrossover Net is developed for effective control of digital devices and audio visual devices such as video cameras, TV displays, video discs and video cassette recorders. A remarkable feature ofCrossoverNet is that it can handle and transfer both digital and analog information, including data, video and voice, in an integrated manner. To ensure secure operations of the entire network, we formalizeCrossoverNet in a precise mathematical way by defining object, job, task and process as data types belonging toCrossoverNet. We also present a practical installation example of theCrossoverNet system.
