In general, distributed systems can be classified into Distributed
File Systems (DFS) and Distributed Operating Systems (DOS). The
survey which follows distinguishes be tween DFS approaches in
Chapters 2-3, and DOS approaches in Chapters 4-5. Within DFS and
DOS, I further distinguish "traditional" and object-oriented
approaches. A traditional approach is one where processes are the
active components in the systems and where the name space is
hierarchically organized. In a centralized environment, UNIX would
be a good example of a traditional approach. On the other hand, an
object-oriented approach deals with objects in which all
information is encapsulated. Some systems of importance do not fit
into the DFS/DOS classification. I call these systems "closely
related" and put them into Chapter 6. Chapter 7 contains a table of
comparison. This table gives a lucid overview summarizing the
information provided and allowing for quick access. The last
chapter is added for the sake of completeness. It contains very
brief descriptions of other related systems. These systems are of
minor interest or do not provide transparency at all. Sometimes I
had to assign a system to this chapter simply for lack of adequate
information about it."
