language An object-oriented programming system developed

by a team led by Professor Santosh Shrivastava at the

University of Newcastle, implemented entirely in C++.

Arjuna provides a set of tools for the construction of

fault-tolerant distributed applications. It exploits

features found in most object-oriented languages (such as

inheritance) and only requires a limited set of system

capabilities commonly found in conventional operatingsystems. Arjuna provides the programmer with classes that

implement atomic transactions, object level recovery,

concurrency control and persistence. The system is

portable, modular and flexible; the system software has been

available via FTP since 1992.
