A General-Purpose Synthetic Filesystem
Stephen Kell · 2005
To build a synthetic filesystem exposing a graph of Java objects, with support for method invocation, field accesses, and automatic update of the filesystem to reflect changes in the graph. In so doing, to identify those aspects of a traditional filesystem API that are unsuited to general-purpose implementations. Emphasis on a proof-of-concept rather than high-performance implementation. Work Completed Substantially the above. Some less important features were left unimplemented for reasons of time. A networkable, cross-platform means of implementing method call was devised and implemented, though currently only with slow performance.
