Kent Applicative Operating System - Definition and Overview

The Kent Applicative Operating System was a functional operating system concept to utilise dynamic process creation and inter-process communication.

The system is based on earlier work by Will R. Stoye. The system allow dynamic creation of functional processes. Processes are stream processors, functions that transform an ingoing stream to an outgoing stream. Process scheduling is based on evaluation on demand. Inter-process communication is by message passing based on Stoye's sorting office concept.
