Abstract

Simplicity is the slogan in order to design and implement high-performance communication systems. It is almost a natural consequence that simplicity in system design promotes a flexible and/or application-oriented operating system implementation, too. With PEACE, a process execution and communication environment is explained in this paper which consequently follows the maxim of keeping things as simple as possible.
