Systems is the largest research area in the Computer Laboratory covering
hardware, communications hardware and software, operating systems and
distributed systems. Past systems developed here include Edsac, the Titan
operating system, the Cambridge Ring and the Cambridge Distributed Computing
System. The Systems Research Group (SRG) has some 40 members, and is divided
into a number of subgroups:
the Opera group, the
Networks and Operating Systems group,
and the Home Area Networking group.

The name was chosen to have a multimedia feel and the mnemonic may be expanded
to "objects, persistence, events, replication and activity". The thrust is
open distributed processing with an object orientated approach. We look to
support emerging distributed applications in which users and devices may be
mobile and may have multimedia presentation requirements. Current themes are
asynchronous (event) extensions to synchronous middleware and an access
control architecture, Oasis. The projects and publications links below lead to fuller information about this and other work in the group.
