Chorus is a micro-kernel-based distributed operating system architecture. The authors explore the architectural and implementational issues involved in constructing a distributed paging service in the Chorus environment. Apart from outlining the pager architecture, they provide insight into how the characteristic goals of a critical distributed application on top of the Chorus system may be put into practice. The respective Chorus features are thereby judged in view of their suitability with respect to the pager implementation. The results of an experimental evaluation of the pager are included
