Towards Organizational Agent-based Operating Systems
•
1 like•520 views
The document proposes a new agent-oriented design for operating systems (OS) that integrates concepts from multi-agent systems. It suggests defining the OS and applications as organizations of agents rather than processes. This would provide new abstractions like agents, roles, and contracts. The OS would function as a service-oriented architecture, providing functionality through services. This new design aims to improve OS goals like security, efficiency, and reliability in line with modern software trends.

Editor's Notes
- This support can be included inside the Operating System. it improves the efficiency in the context changes, memory management and other parameters typical of the Operating System performance This way, the computational entities of the system not only can execute code in a sequential way, but can also be aware of their environment and take proactive actions without external interaction.
