Arjuna
     
         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.
