Next Generation Operating Systems: A Biologically Inspired Future

Abstract

This paper takes a biologically inspired approach towards the operating systems. It views the DNA through a "system software microscope". It discusses related issues, examples being file system, program preparation, and it's parallel and distributed features, including inter-process communication. Our work explores the analogy between the computer operating systems and the molecular biology control systems, concerning the issues of improving the computer operating systems and its parallel and distributed capabilities.
