Alliance OS Web Site
Latest News: January 8, 2000Welcome to the Alliance Operating System project web site. Alliance (also known as AllOS or the Alliance OS) is a project of individuals who donate their time toward the goal of making a new, stable operating system based on a modified version of the Stanford Caching Model of Operating System Functionality.
The Alliance Core Operating System uses a standardized communications backbone based on the Common Object Request Broker Architecture as specified by the Object Management Group and implemented in the System ORB (SORB). Currently the SORB is planning to adapt and extend the functionality of current open source CORBA implementations such as Flick and ORBit for use with Alliance OS.
The project is currently in a relatively early stage; read our current development status for more information. Many specifications and other whitepapers are available to read and download. Please note that these specifications are outdated. For more information about the Alliance project and its goals, please read the project description. You may also want to read the Alliance FAQ. If you are interested in assisting within the project, please visit the Contacts section and contact the appropriate person.
The project is organized into many different subteams, all of which have their own leaders and web sites. Each SK (System Kernel) works in conjunction with the Cache Kernel and System ORB to form a viable Operating System. The divisions include: Input/Output SK, Graphics SK, Filesystem SK, Cache Kernel, User Interface SK, Network SK, and System ORB. We also plan to support some Alliance-related projects, the first of which being the User Education Team. The Alliance User Education Team will be working with the Freehive Documentation Method to provide the best materials possible for the Alliance Operating System.

 | It has been awhile since the site was lasted updated, but work is still being done. A configure script for AllOS has been completed, and is in place. The tree structure has also been revised, and the CK documents have been updated. Lastly, a dynalinker should released soon. | |
