Abstract :
Inferno/sup TM/ is an operating system for creating distributed services. It is a product of the Inferno Business Unit of Lucent Technologies and was developed by them and the Computing Science Research Center of Bell Labs, the R&D arm of Lucent Technologies. Although it is a new system designed specifically as a commercial product, it draws from many years of Bell Labs research in operating systems, languages, on-the-fly compilers, graphics, security, networking and portability.
