The Coyote System

Overview	Coyote is a system that supports the construction of highly modular and configurable versions of complex high-level protocols. Coyote extends the notion of protocol objects supported by systems such as the x-kernel and Horus to finer-grain modules called micro-protocols that implement individual properties of the target service as separate modules. A service is then configured from a suite of micro-protocols representing a range of possible semantic choices based on the particular execution guarantees needed for the given application. The configurability is achieved though a flexible and customizable event mechanism. Click here for a more detailed description of Coyote.
Software	Two prototype versions of Coyote have been implemented. One, based on the x-kernel, runs on DecStations. The other is based on C++ and Solaris OS services.
