WebOS is a research project started at the University of California, Berkeley to develop suitable developer abstractions for applications that run over a network. The abstractions provided include:
- a filesystem that locates data with uniform resource locators
- a ___location-independent resource naming system
- secure remote execution
- secure data access
- fail-safe transactions
Research on WebOS has continued at Duke University, the University of Texas at Austin, and the University of Washington.
WebOS is "an Operating System based on the Web". It is called OS, but it doesnt directly deal with hardware, and only limits itself to provide interface. It will run through something like a Web Browser. WebOS is a foundation upon which Web Application Software (WebAppS) will run.
