Description: "This book describes a new operating system, developed jointly by Sun Microsystems and IBM, that transcends the limitations of other operating system technologies. Built to take full advantage of Java's platform independence, the JavaOS software is a small and efficient operating system that executes the Java application environment directly on hardware platforms without requiring any other host operating system.

Designed to support distributed processing across a variety of products in a multiplatform, thin-client environment, the JavaOS software is well positioned to lead the way toward distributed computing." "Written by those involved with the JavaOS operating system from its inception, this book provides a comprehensive description of the operating system and explores its marketplace impact."--BOOK JACKET.
