DROPS: Dresden Real-Time Operating System Project - Several RTOSs with QoS focus: much research is done on networking support for continuous-media applications, very few projects tackle related OS issues, such as scheduling and file system support for bounded response time: overview, status, download, installation, use, documentation, papers.
Meta Description: [ DROPS: overview, status, download, installation, use, documentation, papers ]

Getting Closer to 99.9999% Network Uptime - Has information loss become so crucial? Is there real demand for highly available networks? Or are network OEMs, fighting a bad economy, making high-tech versions of detergent ads claiming new and improved. [Vaughan-Nichols Associates]
