PURE: Design Rationale of the PURE Object-Oriented Embedded Operating System - Project goal: provide a portable, universal runtime executive for deeply embedded parallel distributed systems. Deeply embedded means systems that have extreme resource constraints in memory, CPU, and power use. [ResearchIndex] - http://citeseer.ist.psu.edu/4012.html
PURE - Portable, Universal Runtime Executive, successor to PEACE. Home site, brief description: strives for very fine granular dynamic reconfiguration, based on passive instead of only active objects. Goal: special purpose OSs with minimal memory use. - http://ivs.cs.uni-magdeburg.de/bs/forschung/pure-eng.shtml
