%X This paper describes the design philosophy of a real\-time
   operating system, RT\-DOS, and its architecture. 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.
