IIT Madras

Indian Institute of Technology Madras is one among the foremost institutes of national importance in higher technological education, basic and applied research. The CSE dept at IIT Madras has a strong research group working on various areas in computer science. Minimalistic Object Oriented Linux (MOOL) project was undertaken by the research group led by Prof. D. Janakiram, Department of Computer Science and Engineering, IIT, Madras. This work addresses maintainability issues of traditional Linux kernel. The original kernel was developed using procedural approach and exhibits excessive common coupling. In order to facilitate the easy evolution of the Linux Kernel, MOOL project has taken a wrapper-based approach to Linux Kernel to provide object oriented abstractions to external modules.
