Java-oriented Active Network Operating System
The Janos project's objective is to develop a principled local
operating system for active network nodes, oriented to executing
untrusted Java bytecode. The primary focus is resource management
and control, with secondary objectives of information security,
performance, and technology transfer of broadly and separately useful
software components.
The Janos Project is primarily sponsored by DARPA as part of the Active Networks program, with additional support from Novell, Compaq, and the University of Utah.
Some Janos project overview talks:

- A recent longer status talk, June 2001. (HTML, Powerpoint)
