Abstract
BTRON2 specification for operating systems for workstations is a logical successor to an earlier BTRON1 specification. The BTRON2 specification has clarified some internal structures of the OS and has added functions assuming the existence of ample hardware resources on personal computers in the immediate future. BTRON2 specification calls for a layered modular structure to enhance the maintainability, support for distributed architecture, and extensibility. Design philosophy and characteristics of BTRON2 specifications are detailed in this paper.
