Abstract :
TRON (The Real-time Operating system Nucleus) is a project aimed at creating an ideal computer architecture for the future computerized society. The project was started by Dr. Ken Sakamura of the University of Tokyo in 1984. Private industry is cooperating with academia to bring a whole new computer order into reality. The TRON Project is being carried out with the future computerized society in mind. In the computerized society, most equipment, appliances, tools, and other objects making up our living environments will be augmented with embedded computers, be connected with networks, and cooperate each other to provide better living environments for human beings. In other words, these intelligent objects and networks constitute a large distributed computing system and support human activities on many aspects. This kind of system is called a highly functionally distributed system (HFDS) and its realization is the most important goal of the TRON Project. Work is now going ahead on various subprojects, including six fundamental subprojects and some application subprojects
