Abstract

This paper presents the interprocess communication/synchronization scheme used in the SUE operating system. This scheme is based on a tree structure of processes which are called “facilities” and three primitive operations: Facility Call, Accept Facility Call, and Complete Facility Call. These primitives are implemented by a small “Kernel” which is the basis of the operating system.
