  abstract=      "This article describes an operating environment for control
     systems. This operating environment contains the basic
     layers of a distributed operating system. Typical for this
     operating environment is that it is designed according to
     the needs of control systems. To do this, first the general
     requirements of a controller have been investigated. Based
     on the requirements posed by controllers as they can be
     found in complex systems, the requirements of the operating
     environment have been derived. This operating environment
     has been implemented on transputers. To test the performance
     of the operating environment, performance indicators were
     chosen and performance measurements were carried out for
     several different strategies. Due to the demanding nature of
     real-time control systems, special attention has been paid
     to an efficient implementation of a basic kernel."
