Naming in the Distributed Operating System ZGL

In this paper,the naming scheme used in the heterogeneous distributed operating system ZGL is described and some of the representative techniques utilized in current distributed operating systems are examined.It is believed that the partitioning of the name space into many local name spaces and one global shared name space allows the ZGL system to satisfy each workstation s demand for local autono- my and still be able to facilitate transparent resource sharing.By the division of the system into clusters an…
