This paper makes a case for paths as an explicit abstraction in operating system design. Paths provide a unifying infrastructure for several OS mechanisms that have been introduce...
We present the motivation, design, implementation, and performance evaluation of a UNIX kernel mechanism capable of establishing fast in-kernel data pathways between I/O objects. ...
We introduce variant types and a pattern matching operation to synchronous dataflow languages. These languages are used in the design of reactive systems. As these systems grow in...
