  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.
