A MICROKERNEL ARCHITECTURE FOR DISTRIBUTED MOBILE ENVIRONMENTS

Thomas Bopp, Thorsten Hampel

2005

Abstract

Microkernels are well known in the area of operating systems research. In this paper we adapted the concept of microkernel to the field of Computer Supported Cooperative Work and Learning (CSCW/L) to provide a basic underlying architecture for various collaborative systems. Such architecture serves well for the fields of mobile and distributed collaborative infrastructures with its new inclusion of small mobile devices and ad-hoc network structures. Our architecture provides a distributed object repository for an overlay network of CSCW/L peers. Nodes can dynamically join and leave this network and each peer is still autonomous. In this network different kinds of peers exist depending on the module configuration of a system. So-called super-peers with lots of storage and computing power provide gateways to the network (for example HTTP).
