| The Prospero Directory ServiceThe Prospero System is a collection of protocols and embedded software
providing distributed directory services, file access services,
naming, maintenance of attribues, indexing, caching, and storage for
network applications. The Prospero System was developed in the late
80's by Clifford Neuman at
the University of Washington, with development moved in the early
1990's to the Information
Sciences Institue of the University of Southern California.
The Prospero Directory Service is a name server based on the virtual
system model. The Prospero system provides object-centered naming,
i.e. naming without a global context within which names are resolved.
Different users, and diffierent programs, specify names relative to
different root directories and the context within which each name is
resolved must be available when looking up names.
The Prospero Resource Manager (PRM)
supports the allocation of processing resources in large distributed
systems, enabling users to run sequential and parallel applications on
processors connected by local or wide-area networks.
