Abstract
HFDS (Highly Functionally Distributed System) is heterogeneous loosely-coupled computer network and generally has large number of computers including large number of intelligent objects.
The TRON project has been under way to bring the dream of computerized society, where HFDS’s play important roles, into reality. The project will produce ITRON, BTRON, CTRON, MTRON, and TRON VLSI CPU when it is finished. ITRON is a realtime OS specification for embedded computer systems. BTRON is an OS specification for workstations, and it will define TAD (TRON Application Databus) data exchange standard. CTRON is an OS specification for servers and gateways on HFDS. MTRON is a network OS specification to control the operation of HFDS’s. TRON VLSI CPU will run the TRON-based software systems efficiently.
The long-term objective of the TRON project is to realize an HFDS by utilizing the results of these subprojects.
