RT-DOS is a generic name given to a prototype operating system, which is a fully-distributed, message-based system designed to run on a network of transputers. The main objective of RT-DOS is to provide a dynamically reconfigurable work platform that adapts to dynamic changes in workloads, allows system maintainability and dynamic upgrading, and increases system reliability and availability." }
