Survey and Analysis of Major Computing Operating Systems (OS Survey)

摘要

The major contemporary computer operating systems were surveyed and analyzed for the purpose of defining a functional classification structure applicable and common to the executive/control functions of all operating systems. In addition, performance parameters were developed for each of the common functions and the technical feasibility of various operating system validation techniques were assessed. While it was determined that an automated general purpose validation system is technically feasible, it is impractical at the present time. (Author)
