Object-Oriented Distributed Operating Systems

Alpha is a non-proprietary operating system for providing system and mission level resource management in large, complex, distributed real-time systems. The most demanding examples of such systems are always found first in military contexts (such as combat platform mission management and battle management), but similar needs subsequently arise in aerospace (such as space stations, autonomous exploration vehicles, and air traffic control) and civilian industry (such as factory automation, telecommunications, and OLTP).
