arjuna
(foldoc) | Arjuna
An object-oriented programming system developed
by a team led by Professor Santosh Shrivastava at the
University of Newcastle, implemented entirely in C++.
Arjuna provides a set of tools for the construction of
fault-tolerant distributed applications. It exploits
features found in most object-oriented languages (such as
inheritance) and only requires a limited set of system
capabilities commonly found in conventional {operating
systems}. Arjuna provides the programmer with classes that
implement atomic transactions, object level recovery,
concurrency control and persistence. The system is
portable, modular and flexible; the system software has been
available via FTP since 1992.
