Global Operating System makes a new information
environment in which CPU, memory, disk storage, network bandwidth,
keyboards, displays, sensors, actuators, software, image, sound, documents,
know-hows, automobiles and their seats, clothing, food, human beings and
their talents, abilities and efforts are all seen as resources which will
be provided to users in need at the right time and in the right place to be
used efficiently.
This kind of information environment will enrich our lives,
reduce energy consumption and form local-production-local-consumption
economy as a new foundation for our lives, which is robust and helps us
live in accordance with the natural environment of the 21st century.
This proposal aims at realization of such Global
Operating System in near future, and suggests that we should develop a
prototype of its shell first, apply it to real problems, and make people
realize the potential of Global Operating System so that we all can then
work together towards the common goal.
More specifically, the plan is to improve the
shell-functionality of wija, a messaging software the applicants have been
developing as a prototype for Global Operating System Shell, by adding the
following important features:
- Global Operating System Shell programming language
called Overlay GHC.
- Currency whose standard is the storage space.
The applicants will try spreading the concept and the
software by conducting a series of experiments involving engineers and
general public, whose other objective of course is to improve the concept
and design of the software.
