Arjuna

   <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 {operating
   systems}.  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.
