Abstract

The outlines of future operating systems are elaborated by extrapolating the development of operating systems from yesterday over today to tomorrow. Trends in the development and their intentions are considered. Especially the aspects of encapsulation, interaction and sharing as well as reflection are examined. To meet the intentions while avoiding the existing deficiencies we propagate an abstract object model, a recursive structure of the operating system and powerful reflection mechanisms.
